Not only does the museum serve to educate visitors about the history of these disciplines, which have had such a profound impact on global society, it also facilitates the ongoing preservation of over 4,000 rare and delicate exhibits, representing our collective technical heritage. Occupying a total area of some 300 m 2 , the exhibits cover everything from Polaroid cameras to high-end electron microscopes. The evolution of motion picture technology can be traced from rudimentary magic lanterns to early wooden hand-crank cameras, and then on to sophisticated film cameras that were used on well-known blockbusters, as well as television studio cameras. A number of vintage ARRI cameras are displayed in a special cabinet, including the ARRIFLEX 16ST and 16BL, which were ubiquitous 16 mm newsgathering cameras ARRIFLEX D-21
