Experience the Olympus Perspective Playground

The Olympus Perspective Playground is an event platform where disciplines are bridged, know-how exchanged and creative experimentation enabled. It follows an exhibition concept that tickles one’s fancy with spectacular visual and hands-on experiences of the highest order providing optical sensations best viewed with the world’s leading lenses we at Olympus take so much pride in making.

Equipped with one of our OM-D or Olympus PEN system cameras, Playground visitors can explore an interactive exhibition designed by varying artists, capture it in photographs or video and unleash their own creativitiy. This exceptional concept was able to attract more than 400,000 visitors across Europe so far...

The next Olympus Perspective Playground is already in the making and will take place at the world's leading fair for photography - the photokina 2018 in Cologne! 

From 26 - 29 September 2018 fans of photography and art will be able to explore our creative photography festival on more than 2,000 square meters in hall 1 of the Koelnmesse fairgrounds, including evening hours after the official fair opening. Whether enthusiast or professional photographer, the Playground allows anybody to test drive our compact OM-D or Olympus PEN cameras and experience art through the lens.

All photokina visitors will receive free admission to the Playground! The SD card with the photos can be taken home as a memento.
