The exhibit has a special focus on animation through animated films produced with puppets, hand-drawn, appliqued and digital images.
The museum frequently hosts small-scale exhibitions, film-themed lectures, events and screenings. For visitor groups, we offer tours, classes and creative workshops designed to satisfy both, seasoned experts and novices in the early stages of acquaintance with the world of film.
