  1. A

    Fotoplastikon

    Photo and film buffs will be intrigued by the Fotoplastikon, a late-19th-century forerunner of the cinema. It’s reputedly the last working example of its kind in Europe, and consists of a large rotating drum set with individual eyepieces displaying stereoscopic 3D photos, some of them in colour. Each session consists of 48 pictures and takes about 20 minutes.

    Island Amphitheatre

    Near the Palace on the Water in Łazienki Park is the Island Amphitheatre, built in 1790 and based on the appearance of the Roman theatre at Herculaneum. It is set on an islet in the lake, allowing part of the action to take place on the water.
