"The Miniature and Cinema Museum is a very unique museum:
- It's dedicated to 2 main themes: miniatures and cinema special effects. It showcases a remarkable collection of miniatures created by artist Dan Ohlmann and his team, as well as a collection of cinema props, sets, and special effects equipment.
- The miniatures depict various scenes from everyday life, historical periods, and even fictional settings. The level of detail in these miniatures is truly impressive and allows visitors to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship involved.
- The museum also offers insights into the world of cinema special effects. Visitors can explore various movie props, animatronics, and equipment used in creating visual effects for films. This part of the museum gives a behind-the-scenes look at how filmmakers create magical and realistic scenes on screen."

"Two unique collections by the artist Dan Ohlmann: the 120 miniature scenes produced and more than 450 legendary film props give the visitor an insight into the special effects techniques of our leading film studios.
Fun fact:
Lumière brothers, French inventors and pioneer manufacturers of photographic equipment who devised an early motion-picture camera and projector called the Cinématographe (“cinema” is derived from this name). Auguste Lumière (b. October 19, 1862, Besançon, France—d. April 10, 1954, Lyon) and his brother Louis Lumière (b. October 5, 1864, Besançon—d. June 6, 1948, Bandol) created the film La Sortie des ouvriers de l’usine Lumière (1895; “Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory”), which is considered the first motion picture."

"This museum is a great stop for people who are interested in movies, with lots of unique pieces of memorabilia from famous films. Lyon is considered the birthplace of Cinema, since this is where the Lumiere brothers were living when they invented the movie camera and film projector, filmed the first movie, and released the first cinema piece for public viewing.
