IMAX Technik Museum Sinsheim

The IMAX at the Technik Museum Sinsheim is one of only two halls in Germany able to show the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame. At 27 × 22 metres it is the largest IMAX screen in Europe in that format. It opened in 1996 as a classic Grand Theatre cinema running 15/70 mm film and switched to dual 4K laser projection in 2016. The almost square screen stayed, so a film shot on IMAX cameras is not cropped at the top and bottom. Sound runs on 12 channels. Daytime belongs to 45-minute documentaries in 2D and 3D, evenings to current releases. The cinema sits on the museum grounds between a Concorde and a Tupolev, but tickets can be booked independently of museum admission. KinoNow lists the evening feature screenings; the daytime documentaries are sold only through the museum.
