On the 25th June starting from 19h30 (and ending at 20h30).
We offer the possibility of a guided tour (in French) of le musée de l'Institut Lumière. If you have not already opted for this visit when you registered, you can sign up at the reception desk on arrival at the conference.
The museum recounts the life of the Lumière family. Starting with Antoine, the father, who rose from being a poor sign-painter to being a captain of industry. The father's wealth was largely due to the inventions of two of his sons, Louis and Auguste, in particular a new, very sensitive emulsion for photographic plates - the 'etiquette bleue'.
In 1894, Louis Lumière designed and built the 'cinematographe' that could both take and project films (of about a minute in length). The public screening of the first of these films in Paris in December 1895 is widely taken to mark the birth of cinema. The visitor to the museum can see a large number of these films, as well as a presentation of the history of the Lumière family as well as a number of the brothers' inventions.
