The 3D Center of Art & Photography
The world's only art gallery, museum and theater dedicated to the art and science of 3D!
About Us...
The 3D Center of Art and Photography, a non-profit museum/gallery, features the best in antique and contemporary 3D imagery. The Center houses everything from antique stereocards to View-Master, contemporary 3D photography, lenticulars, anaglyphs, and computer generated 3D art.
For 160 years, the world of 3D imagery has been diverse and exciting. Display cases allow visitors to see vintage 3D cameras, projectors and viewing devices as well as the most up to date 3D cameras on the market today. Information panels follow the history and development of 3D photography from its early use to chronicle the American Civil War to its current use in the Space Program.
Each month different featured artists provide a glimpse into the contemporary world of 3D. Original contemporary art may be viewed and purchased. Daily 3D slideshows allow the visitor to slip into the amazing world of depth.
Interactive displays explain how we are able to see depth and create a 3D image on a flat surface. Stereocards like those that entertained our grandparents are available for viewing, and only a few steps away a computer station allows visitors to see another modern approach to seeing in 3D.
If your curiosity is aroused, look for more information in the Center�s Reference Library.
