The German Film Museum approaches its subject from a few different angles.
The exhibitions handle broad topics like the technological origins and development of cinema, tracing its invention in 1895 through the advent of sound in the 1930s into the 21st century.
For budding moviemakers, the museum also breaks down exactly how a director is able to tell a story in this medium.
There are regular in-depth exhibitions on important figures from film history; Kubrick, Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Romy Schneider have all featured.
