Fotoplastikon

Warsaw's Fotoplastikon is a magical place! It was built in 1905 and it's last display of its kind in Europe (in XIX century there used to be 250 around Europe).

Fotoplastikon allows people to glimpse life throughout 20th century Warsaw via a selection of 3D images. It is created by using a special camera that takes two almost identical photos (at the same time), but from slightly different angles.

What is the most interesting about this exhibit though, apart from its unique nature, are the photos of old Warsaw (before the Second World War).

During both wars it was fully operational, acting as contact point for the Polish underground during Nazi occupation.

The show lasts around 20 minutes and it's accompanied by carefully chosen music. Admission costs 8zł/5zł and this is definitely a worthwhile place to stop in for a peep.
