Light through painted glass
See how light source, lens and slide work together. Compare two slides and pay attention to colour, sharpness and the way a narrator creates a sequence.
Optical toys as forerunners
Rotating or sliding images create movement before film. Describe precisely which visual effect arises from speed and repetition.
A show instead of an open gallery
There is no open weekly schedule; visits are by appointment only. Birthdays, educational and company visits are given an agreed programme; old Heritage Day announcements do not prove current opening.
Before you go
Only by appointment by phone or e-mail. Confirm the date, group size, duration and accessibility before you travel to Scheveningseweg. When booking, ask which show suits the age, purpose of the group and the historical depth you want.
