The Cinema Nuovo Eden Museum is a small specialized museum in Brescia, in the Lombardy region of northern Italy. It is housed in a historic cinema building at Via Nino Bixio 9, and it is dedicated to the history of cinema and film projection. It is also known as the Fondazione Brescia Musei Cinema.
What you will see
The museum's collection centres on the machines and objects that made the moving image possible, together with film memorabilia. Visitors can look at vintage projection equipment and get a sense of how films were shown in earlier decades.

What kind of visit it makes
Because the museum is small and focused, it suits a visit of modest length rather than a full day. It will appeal most to people with an interest in film history, in older technology, or in the places where cinema was once watched. Anyone who enjoys seeing how a historic building has been put to a new use may find the setting as interesting as the exhibits.
The museum sits in Brescia, a city with a long history of its own, so a trip here can easily be combined with time spent exploring the centre. For opening times, admission details and bookings, you can call the museum on +39 030 2977833 before you go.
