Bill Douglas Centre - History of Cinema

Bill Douglas Centre (History of Cinema) is a public museum and an academic research centre that contains one of the largest collections of prints, books, and artefacts relating to the history of cinema and the moving image. It is open daily and free to visit, making for an interesting day out with the kids that won't break the bank!

Discover the changes that have occurred in the medium of visual entertainment over the last 200 years and how far they have come since the early experiments with shadows, mirrors and puppets! The collection of 75,000 artefacts is pretty diverse, but linked by an emphasis of the audience experience of the moving image.
