Housing the private collection of Mr. Akram Miknas, which he has accumulated over twenty-five years, the History of Cinema Museum was born out of Mr. Miknas' wish to share his collection with the public, hoping to inspire and educate
the region with an exciting part of history. All items in the museum are original, dating back from the 1730s to the twentieth century.
The museum is unique not only in its subject matter and location, but in the overall experience. The History of Cinema Museum in Dubai features numerous interactive aspects, allowing for guests of all ages to fully experience the rich
history of the moving image by viewing and playing with objects such as peeping into an eighteenth century Dutch peepbox viewer, or turning the reel of an early twentieth century mutoscope to see the flicker effect!
