Bill Douglas Cinema Museum

The Bill Douglas Cinema Museum holds over 80,000 artifacts documenting the evolution of film, from early optical devices to modern cinema technology.

The museum opened in 1997 with the collection of filmmaker Bill Douglas and Peter Jewell, expanding through numerous donations over subsequent decades.

The museum maintains two public galleries and a research room where visitors examine the development of moving images through extensive collections of equipment and memorabilia.

Located on the Streatham Campus, the museum welcomes visitors daily from 10am to 5pm, offering free admission to explore its comprehensive film history exhibitions.

The collection includes original production archives from British filmmakers, along with artifacts dating from the 17th century related to pre-cinema optical entertainment.
