Where the creatures of your childhood come to life
WELCOME TO COLIN ARTHUR´S MUSEUM OF CINEMA, WHERE THE ART OF FILMAKING LIVES FOREVER
Remember the NeverEnding Story creatures, Alien, 2001 a Space Odyssey, or Conan?
You´ll come face to face with iconic works used in those productions and step onto a real film set filled with fantasy, imagination and exceptional special effects.
Throughout a lifetime devoted to cinema, Colin Arthur, Make-up and Special Effects Artist, worked on more than 140 films with directors such as Stanley Kubrick, Steven Spielberg, Pedro Almodovar, Alejandro Amenábar and Ray Harryhausen. From his hands emerged legendary creations such as Falkor, the Rock Biter and the Racing Snail. Now they await you here, alongside many more remarkable treasures from the world of cinema.

READY TO VISIT?
We´ll tell you everything you need to know: opening times, admission fees, how to find us and get your tickets - no booking required, in less than a minute.
I hope that, as you make your way through the exhibition, you will see more than just sculptures, masks and creatures. I wish you will also discover the craftmanship, imagination and passion behind each and every one of them.
Because cinema is not created only in front of the camera. It is also shaped by hand, a little clay… and a huge deal of imagination.
Enjoy your visit!
