This year you have to pre-register to the darkroom, you must pre-order (and pay) ticket in advance. There is a limited number of seats! If you don’t want to participate in the darkroom activities, you don’t have to pre-order. The groups are divided into a timetable, the first one is for taking the picture, and the development of the negative. The second timetable is for making the contact copy.

You will find the entries for the registration in different groups below:

• Kl 1210-1255 og 1345-1415

This year we have a new workshop: Light Graffiti.

You simply open the shutter on a camera and “paint” in the air with a light source. In this way you capture the movement of the light source on the image.

The kids will participate in every level from start to finish.

Shadow Theatre

Kattas figurteater gir liv til fotomuseets tause skyggefigurer!

Kattas Puppetry plays performances with the museum's shadow figures at 12.30 PM and 2 PM. After the performances you can create your own shadow figures and learn how to play with them by the experts!

Mini Studio

Take a selfie using some of our props - you can either use your own phone or borrow a camera from us.

Sun Print

Create your own pictures using the sun, water and a magic paper!

Negatives and various objects placed on a blue paper are exposed to sunlight and then rinsed in water. Voila, you have a beautiful, lasting photogrammetric and you have also learned something about photography and how the light is leaving its mark on the sensitive material.

Cyanotype is a photographic process from the 1840s.

Even more...
