Museo del Cine: Reviews

The first Sunday of each month is free, I liked it a lot. It has 3 floors, from the early days of the film world to the present day. Children can handle things to better understand how cinema worked in its early days.

I went to the museum with my students and the truth is that it has been amazing, both the visit to the museum and the animation workshop we did. A highly recommended place to go with or without kids.

It was missing a floor and that leaves you a bit incomplete but it is very interesting
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
The right place to accurately learn about the history of cinema from its origins. If you are in Girona, the visit is unavoidable. You will learn a lot!
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
I was recommended the museum and now I also recommend it. It starts its journey through the various attempts of humankind to capture the image, from the dawn of photography. This starting point makes it especially interesting. It then shows you the different attempts to 'move the image' until reaching contemporary cinema. Seeing the dates of the instruments, witnesses, and photographs, one is surprised that moving stories have been around for such a short time with humanity.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Very interesting, they have a lot of material
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Spectacular, it tells the whole story up to today's cinema. Ideal with children as they give them a small gift at the end and create a sort of scavenger hunt, and without them, as they provide very interesting information.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Beautiful experience to explore the history of cinema.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Very interesting. Well structured, explaining the beginnings of the image over 3 well-structured floors. I just missed more about contemporary cinema from the late 20th century, but the experience is very recommendable. I had a great time.

Highly recommended visit. Very interesting and dynamic. I loved it

Fantastic experience:
Impressive private collection about the different artistic stages until the invention of cinema. Surprising, educational, and highly recommended
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
It must be said that they have a great collection of objects about the world of the circus. But it's not a museum to go to with kids because they get bored. It's not very dynamic; there are missing things you can interact with in some way.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Super fun, a walk through the history of cinema from the beginning (shadow puppets) to Hollywood, with interactive activities for the whole family.

Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
What to say about a museum? Anything related to culture is welcome.
First, I have to say that the receptionist was super friendly, attentive, and very nice. Workers should always be pampered when they nurture their work. That said, I continue:
A small museum that explores why we know cinema as we experience it now. The layout is very good for following the evolution of cinema, from shadows, images, to moving images... A journey that does not leave the viewer out, but rather allows interaction with instruments prepared for the purpose.
I truly recommend this adventure.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Incredibly educational and fun for kids and adults.
Fantastic experience:
One of the most interesting museums we have visited. The history of image as entertainment from shadow theatre to modern cinema. Dark rooms, old games, audiovisual demonstrations, and interactive activities for both small and large, it's really worth a visit. We spent more than two hours there and my 10-year-old daughter didn't want to leave. The museum is in the center of Girona, a 5-minute walk from Independence Square. Also, the first Sunday of the month is free admission, and across the street there is a large square with a very decent restaurant. A total plan.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
I loved this museum! The history starts from the creation of images through shadow to the cinema we know today. It took me 2 hours to see the three floors. It has many details, the audio guide is included and is very well explained. I liked that there are some interactive games for children to better understand the context and evolution of cinema. I bought my ticket with the Museums Girona card or M6 ticket. It’s a free card to visit the 6 main museums at half price. I only paid 3.5€
Translated from Spanish

In one hour (minimum) you take a review of where all the engineering and all the art of cinema comes from. A great experience.

Positive experience:
The museum fascinated us and is a must-visit, I'm telling you. We liked it so much that we bought the book about the museum (Spanish version). Splendid, it's just that as you go through the pages, they start coming off the glue that attaches them to the spine. Anyway, that's what made me give it (only) four stars.
Translated from Spanish

A perfect museum to visit on the weekend. We went on the first Sunday of the month when it is free. If you go with children, there are several objects or materials on display for you to experiment with, although adults also love these things! There are 3 floors and you start seeing it from top to bottom, although there is an elevator for those who need it.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
If you like the relationship between the image and the viewer, knowing how the cinema we watch was born from a process that has been going on for almost 2 centuries ... You have to go! Very interesting and very well told. Maybe it needs a final push with digital cinema. It's worth getting lost there ️
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Very fun and interesting. We were going to see the cathedral so my daughter could review the Romanesque and Gothic styles they covered in school, and on the way, we found this museum. She wanted to go in. I assumed it would be a quick thing, some movie posters, etc... But we spent about 2 wonderful hours learning about the effect of light and how humanity learned to take advantage of it. Instead of architectural art history, we explored physics and the 7th art. Everything was very curious and surprising and well organized. First, you see and manipulate it, and then a small entertaining summary video. The €6 best spent of my life.

Super interesting museum. I can't say what I liked most. The beginnings of cinema with all the created gadgets. Magic lantern, optical boxes, praxinoscopes, how they made 3D images, etc. It also has many interactive things. A must-visit.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
When we went, the museum was empty and it was a wonderful experience. My partner is a photographer and imaging laboratory technician (among other things related to the audiovisual world) and a movie lover, they had a great time! Also recommended for kids to get started in film history, during the tour there are many interactive areas that allow you to understand the evolution. Still, I think the best way is to go with a guide, even though everything is well explained, I feel that someone expert in the field can be very helpful, as receiving so much information at once can be a bit tedious to digest on your own. Excellent collection.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
The museum is very educational and interesting for all ages. I visited with my family and we all loved it.

Excellent museum about the different discoveries that ultimately led to the invention of cinema.

A true hidden treasure in the old part of Girona.

A great journey to the origin of cinema. Illustrative, educational, and very interesting. You are left wanting more. A great collection. Hopefully, someone will continue with new contributions. Everything is very well explained and structured. Highly recommend visiting if you go to Girona. It has been two very fruitful hours. Tomás Mallol did a great job.

A must-visit in Girona if you like cinema. A review of its history in all its facets. Humble size but with interesting content. With interactive activities for children. Visit lasting between 1-2 hours.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Very interesting, especially because it allows you to interact with old devices and see them in operation. It shows the entire history prior to photography and cinema. However, it falls a bit short regarding the current history of cinema.

One of the best museums to visit to learn and marvel at the history of cinema from lights and shadows to moving images through mirrors, the mechanisms of the French brothers Lumière. In short, one of the must-sees of this beautiful city.

Fantastic experience:
Thematic museum about the world of cinema. It is located in the city center, 10 minutes walking from the cathedral. Special prices for young people and students. It has a wide collection of machines and technical elements from the beginning of photography to the evolution towards modern cinema. A good visit to make with family since it is very interactive and has many elements for the public to manipulate and understand the evolution in the world of image and entertainment.

It's okay, although the vocabulary of our guided tour with students was not very suitable for their age.

Fantastic experience:
Very beautiful, it's worth it! The entrance costs 6 euros
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Interesting museum to visit, I spent about 2 hours reading everything and looking at all the displays calmly. The girl who attended to me was very friendly and they have free wifi. They give you a discount if you are a student, and in case you buy a regular ticket, without any discounts, they gave me a 50% discount for the other museums in Girona that I visit within a period of 6 months.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
The entire history of cinema prior to the beginning of silent film is detailed and very accurate. Afterwards, it becomes very general, only dealing with the tools used, barely addressing the emergence of new genres, directors... It's worth watching, it's interesting and in 2 hours you'll have seen it thoroughly, plus it has an economical price.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
For its size and the type of collection it offers, it seems to me an exciting place of immense value. From the elevator, filled with phrases that evoke pure love for cinema, it motivates you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere. Beautiful place with objects that showcase the evolution of cinema, presented in an orderly and very attractive manner. One of the best places in Girona.

Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
It is a very interesting museum that perfectly explains the history of cinema, which from personal experience is better to go on your own and take your time than to do a guided tour, but that depends on personal preference.

They show you the history of cinema, where the first ideas came from, until they began filming the first movies, they have a lot of variety of cameras and old devices with which they represented the films.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
A very complete collection of cameras and film. In my opinion, it would need to expand the last section about modern cinema, although it is worth highlighting the great number of cultural and family activities they offer. The best of all is the HISTORY OF 3D IN CINEMA.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
