The 3rd Dimension Museum is a privately operated museum in Dinkelsbühl in the Bavarian district of Ansbach . It houses the largest stereoscopic art collection in the world.

location

The 3rd Dimension museum is located in the southeast of Dinkelsbühl's old town in front of the city wall, right next to the Nördlinger Tor in the building of the historic city mill .

history

The museum was founded in 1987 by the photo designer Gerhard Otto Stief, born in Suhl in the late 1930s , who had been interested in 3D technology since his youth and had amassed a large collection as a passionate collector. From 1995 to the end of 2016, he also ran the now closed 3D museum Explora in Frankfurt am Main .

Initially, the Dinkelsbühler Museum was housed in the tower of the Nördlinger Tor until it was able to move to the neighboring old town mill after extensive renovation work.
