A Leica S1 digital Camera from
1996 will be part of the future exhibition Foto + Film in the German Museum in
Munich, the largest technology museum in the world.
Dr. Andreas Kaufmann,
majority shareholder and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Leica Camera AG,
and Dr. Volker Zimmer, Head of Department Digital Imaging and co-founder of the
Leica S system, presented a Leica S1 to the Director General of the German
Museum, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang M. Heckl and the curator of the exhibition Foto +
Film, Dr. Cornelia Kemp, to supplement the collection of historical photo and
film equipment.
From 2019 onwards, the
large exhibition Foto + Film will present a comprehensive overview of the
development of analogue recording technology and modern digital film and
photographic equipment. It will be divided
into four areas, which include recording and playback technology, photographic
processing and cinematography. About 600 exhibits on an exhibition space of 6030
square meters will take visitors into the world of photo and film technology
from 1839 to the present. The extraordinary variety of the over 100-year-old
collection provides extensive insights into the fascinating cosmos of the
photographic and film history. From historical rarities, such as a racing
pigeon camera to a modern Digicam, a varied range of exhibits is offered.
The exhibition is
currently being revised and updated as part of the modernization of the
Deutsches Museum. The exhibition will be reopened by the end of 2019.
