The Klagenfurt Kinomuseum is a museum on the history and technology of cinema in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee , Carinthia .
history
The "Little Klagenfurt Cinema History" - the operator of the museum - emerged in the mid-1990s from a project by the University of Oldenburg on regional media history. A homepage has existed since 1997 that documents the beginnings of cinematography in Klagenfurt. On November 29, 1896 - eleven months after the first public demonstration by the Lumière brothers in Paris - the “Demonstrations of Living Photography” arrived in the Carinthian capital.
In 2007, the "Klagenfurt Cinema History" organized the first exhibition entitled "With the tramway to the beginnings of cinema" in the closed ORF medium wave transmitter See am Lendkanal . The cinema museum is housed together with the city transport museum of the nostalgic railways in Carinthia in the former broadcasting building.
Stocks
All materials that are related to cinema and film and have a connection to Klagenfurt (partly also to Carinthia) are collected. Starting with the first cinema presentation (1896), through the time of traveling cinemas to the settling down of the cinemas - in Klagenfurt in 1908 - the exhibition shows the beginnings of cinematography. In the second part all Klagenfurt cinemas are presented: Kino Prechtl, Stadttheater-Tonkino, Volkskino, Filmtheater-Peterhof, Kammerlichtspiele, Carinthia-Kino, Wulfenia-Filmbühne, Heide-Lichtspiele. In the third part, the museum deals with films that were made in Klagenfurt and the surrounding area.
