Museum 3. Dimension Dinkelsbühl

Museum 3. Dimension is an exhibition about methods to display and capture images and objects in three dimensions. Across four floors, different techniques such as holograms, special prints, and optical illusions are presented to show how depth effects are created.

The facility was founded in 1987 and has focused since then on researching and teaching about spatial perception. It developed into a place that collects and explains specialized methods for displaying depth and three-dimensional images.

The museum displays various techniques for creating spatial effects, from images with hidden patterns to special printing methods. Visitors can try out the different approaches at interactive stations and understand how the human eye perceives depth.

The museum is spread across multiple levels, so comfortable shoes are recommended and you should plan time for exploring. The interactive exhibitions allow you to learn at your own pace and test various optical effects yourself.

A special technique in the collection is PHSColography, a method that captures depth and spatial dimensions in ways that regular photography cannot achieve. This specialized technique shows how far the methods for creating three-dimensional images can go.
