Family Workshop: Camera Obscura – Back to the Origins of Photography

Workshop for families, children und adolescents on Camera Obscura – Back to the Origins of Photography

This workshop is devoted to the phenomenon of the camera obscura. After entering the museum’s very own “dark chamber”, you will experiment with pinhole cameras and expose your own images outside, which we will then develop together in the black-and-white lab. The resulting negatives and positives are yours to take home with you.

Suitable for all age groups (children under the age of ten years must be accompanied by an adult)

Due to the current situation and the limited space in the photo lab, a maximum of six people (including children) can participate. We ask adults to wear a mask (available on site).

The workshop is held in German.

Pricing: up to 15 years CHF 20, over 16 years CHF 40 per person, families CHF 80 (max. 4 persons)
