MuMa - Murnau & Massolle Forum

Can you feel the cinematic magic in the air? Take a look around. This is where film history comes alive. Did you know that Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, one of the masters of expressionist cinema, was born right here in Bielefeld? His films, like 'Nosferatu', have shaped the horror genre and continue to influence filmmakers worldwide. And standing alongside him is Joseph Massolle, a pioneer of sound in movies. Imagine how his innovations broke the silence of the silver screen, bringing films to life with sound for the first time. As you walk through, pause for a moment and imagine what it was like when movies first spoke. These two giants of cinema left their mark here, and you can almost feel their legacy as you explore the exhibits.
