At the Cinema Museum

This blogger is into cinema and movies in general - the evidence of which you can find here and here - and so naturally this writer couldn't pass by the Cinema Museum here in Moscow, and here are some pictures:

Some merchandise and books - not too cheap.

Sergei Eisenstein's study is now here.

Japanese motifs - Eisenstein was interested in Japan and Japanese culture and at some point was even learning Japanese, some of these things were sent to him from Japan.

Steel tube furniture - original Bauhaus by Marcel Breuer - looks very contemporary, even if it is from the 1930s.

It is Eisenstein's own furniture.

Some titles in Eisenstein's library.

Also, he had quite a lot of artifacts from Mexico.

A period Soviet made radio.
