The lesson starts with a visual journey through the history of cinema, exploring the origins of how the image was set in motion. The world’s first films are screened and an insight into the types and genres of cinema is given. Through visual examples and practical exercises, students learn what the illusion of movement is and how it is used in cinema.

The lesson is closely linked to the subject of visual arts and can be adapted for children with special needs (adapted language, additional explanations). The necessary materials are prepared by the museum and adapted to the age of the pupils.
