The FBS Private Collection is the result of over 45 years of dedication, passion, and commitment by architects and collectors Juan José Sánchez García and Yolanda Fernández-Barredo Sevilla. Throughout these years, both have carried out a meticulous selection and acquisition of objects, aiming to enrich a collection that today comprises more than 350,000 items.
The central focus of this collection is stereoscopy, a technique capable of offering a unique sense of three-dimensionality from two-dimensional images. The large number of pieces related to stereoscopy—its creation, technological development, and applications—share space with a valuable photographic archive that includes a wide variety of elements such as cameras, devices for direct viewing, restitution, projection, and reproduction, as well as publications, photographs, and historical furniture.
Additionally, the FBS Collection houses one of the most important collections of Klumpe dolls in the world, a fact that underscores the uniqueness of this collection.
Ultimately, the FBS Private Collection is not only a testament to the passion and dedication of its creators, but also a space that offers the opportunity to explore and understand the evolution of stereoscopic technology and the history of photography.
