I really enjoyed the Lumiere museum. For starters I liked that it was housed in the father’s “castle”. Besides being an art in its own right, I feel that it provides the necessary ambiance for the content inside. You get to feel that you are actually in the time period of these creations and discoveries. The focus on the family too in the museum added nice context. Through this, you were able to see some of their motivations that fueled their interest in cinema/videography and how their family ties influenced how they went about marketing and presenting their products to the public. My favorite part was the room with the color photography. Our guide talked about how expensive the dyes were to procure so most people of the time didn’t have access to them. Seeing a family of that time period so well documented was amazing and unique. Overall, it was a great experience.
