We can do lots of things with our smartphones:
listen to music, take photos, watch films and make phone calls.
In the past, you needed different technical devices for these things.
These included, for example, cameras for taking photos and film cameras.
There were typewriters for writing and record players for listening to music.
We display this old technology in our museum, but there’s plenty more on show as well.
You can touch and try out lots of things.
There’s an exhibition about computers and their electronic chips.
And you can look at old machines for calculating and writing.
That was how it all began.
Later on, these were developed into computers.
Another section is all about maths.
But it’s more like a game, with trying things out, climbing, listening and looking.
Another theme is that many animated films were made in Dresden.
Our museum is for children, young people and adults.
It is situated in a former factory in Dresden-Striesen.
Cameras and film cameras used to be manufactured here.
