Photography is no longer just about capturing a single moment. In a world where photo editing and artificial intelligence play bigger roles than ever, the medium continues to reinvent itself. What once began as a mirror of reality has now become a tool for creating new worlds and uncovering hidden stories. Photography is no longer only what we see but what we can imagine.
You don't need any experience, everyone is welcome. Registration is also not necessary, just join us whenever and for as long as you want.

Lightlab
Everyday, free of charge, for the whole family
Capture the light with mirrors, dance with colored light, and use your hands, feet and entire body to make shadow art.
In the LightLab, the art is not in the composition of the physical objects on display, but rather in the use of light and shadows. The lab is designed to help you discover how light itself can be art, with the help of mirrors, lamps and your own body. Learn how to create shadows and reflections of various shapes and colors, enlarge and shrink them, and make them dance across the walls and ceiling.
Visit the museum with your family!
