Sehr schönes Museum und auch interaktion. Für Filmfans ein Muss.

Ein schönes Filmmuseum mit guter Auswahl alter Filmapparate seit Beginn der Filmgeschichte im 1. Stock und internationaler Geschichte des Spielfilms im 2. Stock. Es hätten gerne noch etwas mehr Exponate gewesen sein können. Dafür ist der Eintritt günstig und der shop gut.

Interactive museum that tries to be more engaging than a typical history museum. That was weird there was nothing special about classic German directors, even in the shop!

Die Kinder waren begeistert vom Lichtspielplatz und den interaktiven Experimenten. Es wäre wünschenswert, dass das Personal Besucher anspricht, die beliebte Stationen dauerhaft besetzen, sodass andere Kinder auch an die Reihe kommen. Wir hatten leider keine Möglichkeit einen kleinen Film zu drehen… Ansonsten ist die Einrichtung sauber und gepflegt.

Tolles Museum. Groß und voller schöner Filme,Plakate und Requisiten aus großen und bekannten Filmproduktionen. Der Lichtspielplatz ist die Ausstellung für Kinder und wirklich sehr empfehlenswert. Ein toller Ort um sich auszuprobieren,zu experimentieren und Spaß zu haben. Für den Lichtspielplatz haben wir uns, da wir mit 12Kindern ( Hort Ferienspiele) hin sind natürlich vorher angemeldet.

Nice museum illustrating the history of film and all of parts needed to become a film. Lots of interactive section where both adults and childrens can enjoy the charm of film making. Only €6 per person for all the fun. Although I have expected more in-depth section of German expressionismus film since its in Frankfurt, the museum focuses on general history of film. Still it was worth visiting👍🏻

This is a place you have to visit! It’s contemporary trends capable with antiqued collections. And you could also have fun and interactive from some expo furnishings, such as filming editing and green scream!

Ein sehr interessantes und interaktives Erlebnis rund um die Entstehung von Film und dessen Entwicklung. Viel zum Staunen und zum Entdecken. Allerdings fehlt mir der Bezug zur heutigen Zeit. Viel aus der alten Zeit. Es macht Spaß sich treiben zu lassen. Allerdings erfährt die Sache einen Wehmutstropfen. Die Kassiererin war und gegenüber so derart unfreundlich, dass wir uns minutenlang mit der Dame auseinander setzen mussten. Als Touristen waren wir nicht vorbereitet auf das Gesamtprogramm im Haus. Die Dame hat von uns erwartet, dass wir im Vorfeld genau wissen was wir wollen. Da wir aber nicht wußten was insgesamt geboten wird, hatte sie keine Lust und Engagement uns dies zu erklären. Zwei Sterne Abzug für Lustlosigkeit und Arroganz.

My visit to the museum was incredible! I love films and I was truly impressed by the collection. A variety of film gear from the past, surprising props from the famous films and of course the way everything is organized and structured!

Besides, we get to participate in a game where you look at a picture for one second and then had describe it to your team partner. The winning team gets a prize! Fantastic experience.

I will treasure the memories from this museum. Recommend it to anyone!

Amazing museum dedicated to the history of cinematography(Film/Movie). It show’s exits of some costumes used for epic movies (as Predator vs. Allien). The second part has some interactive screens especially interesting for kids.

Lovely museum with permanent and temporary exhibitions.

A museum for all film lovers where they will teach you about the history of film, interactively use all historical film props and enjoy famous shots.
Shooting and taking pictures with a flash is prohibited inside the facility.
The entrance fee is 6 euros, and if you want interactive content, you pay 12 euros.
There is a cinema on the ground floor of the building! :)

We really had a lot of time in front of the green background where you see yourself in an animation. It was cool! Also you have a chance to play with dialogues and background music for some iconic scenes from iconic films like Matrix.
Esphir House
such a unique and captivating place!
we loved all the things you could interact with on the first floor, and we especially enjoyed the light + color exhibit that compared the same pattern in different movies on the second floor.
and the staff couldn’t have been nicer! especially the lady at the reception and the staff at the cafe (that serves a mean cup of coffee and has the tastiest cheesecakes)!
if you’re looking for something fun (and unexpectedly fascinating) to do on your visit to frankfurt, look no further! this is the place.
