The theme running through the architecture of the Bio Rex Sello is bronze. The impressive atmosphere inside the auditoria is created with bronze-stained veneer on the lighting structures and midnight blue curtaining on the walls. The glistening silver of the foyer attunes its visitors to the fictitious film world even before the bronze doors of the auditorium are opened. All the auditoria are designed for the showing of digital and 3D movies and can be used for holding seminars. One auditorium, the Rex Room, is furnished in luxury style.
