The Camera Obscura Mülheim an der Ruhr is not only an extraordinary excursion destination in the Ruhr region, but also a real insider tip. The former railroad water tower is the perfect backdrop for over 1,100 valuable exhibits on the prehistory of film as well as a lovingly compiled photography exhibition. A number of hands-on stations and impressive illusions allow even the youngest visitors to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of images in a fun way.

The absolute highlight of the Mülheim museum awaits you high up in the kettle: the world's largest walk-in camera obscura. Enjoy a breathtaking 360° view of the Ruhr region during a live demonstration.
