L’oggetto

The old cinema joined the exhibition in 2023. It introduces a separate subject: watching films outside the living room and its television. It belongs to the museum’s collection of interiors whose furnishings shaped leisure activities. Elements from the former Orzeł cinema were used to furnish it. Parts of this arrangement therefore have a history in a real cinema, beyond the collection of domestic equipment.

Old folding seats stand before the screen. They provide the setting for screenings and are a characteristic feature of this part of the museum. The history of films is accompanied by the history of the place that supplied the furnishings. Films are played from VHS tapes, combining former cinema fittings with a medium also associated with home viewing. This is a museum arrangement rather than the reconstruction of one particular historic screening.

The museum cinema has folding seats. Some furnishings came from the former Orzeł cinema. They help show what a place for watching films together looked like.

The room opened at the museum in 2023. Films are played from VHS cassettes, which contain tape that stores pictures and sound. Former cinema furnishings have been combined with this way of playing films. It does not recreate one particular screening from the past.
