Filmmuseum Düsseldorf

Filmmuseum Düsseldorf, Film museum in Düsseldorf Altstadt, Germany.

Filmmuseum Düsseldorf is a film museum located in Düsseldorf's Old Town that occupies four floors with around 2,200 square meters of exhibition space. The displays include film technology, props, costumes, and hands-on exhibits that tell the story of cinema.

In 1956 the city opened a youth and culture stage for school film screenings and stored the nitrate collection of cinema owner Fritz Genandt. A film forum founded in 1971 under Klaus G. Jaeger led to the Filminstitut in 1979. The foundation stone was laid in 1989, and the museum opened at Schulstraße 4 on 21 August 1993.

The museum's own cinema, the Black Box, has been run again as a municipal cinema since 2009. Its programme mixes film classics, themed retrospectives and new first-run titles, and three film clubs present films in their original language. Many screenings use analogue film prints.

The museum occupies the building at Schulstraße 4 in the Old Town, near the Alten Hafen, and its displays are arranged over four floors. The exhibition rooms and parts of the archive are housed here; film copies are kept in an external storage facility at constant temperature and humidity.

The museum's archive includes the nitrate film collection of local cinema owner Fritz Genandt, stored there since 1956 and still part of its holdings. Film copies are now kept in an external depot at constant temperature and humidity. The museum belongs to the FIAF, the international federation of film archives.
