The whole family really enjoyed this museum. I would recommend using the free guides who also explained the exhibits and provided addio detail. It was really interesting and well worth the visit.
Discovered this nice little camera museum while hanging out at Muntri Street. A good collection of various antique camera to be seen there. Like the way they maximaze the place and the way they showcase the cemeras.
Nothing much worth visiting, need to pay to visit level 2 of the museum. Walking distance from bayview hotel
Excellent history on the development of cameras. Very informed staff. Well designed exhibitions and cute place to have a coffee after.
I went to an exhibition held there in Maj 2015 about Cameron Highlands. It was a very interesting exhibition. So I never went in to the museum. However, I can say that the staff was very friendly and not pushy about having to "go in" to the museum. The place looked cool and there is some nice streetart on the street where the museum is located.
Situated along Muntri Street, the Camera Museum is a must attraction to see for a camera enthusiast like me. Entrance fee is RM20 that comes with discount vouchers you can use at their shop and cafe; also for Escape Room and the Chocolate Museum nearby.
The collection is not that extensive, the actual museum is on the 2nd level. It's a series of glass shelves with vintage cameras on display. Saw a handful of cameras that my family used to have with those 110mm and 35mm films. They had a FED5, Diana, and Holga which is just like mine.
Sample photos taken from the cameras are also on display. I was particularly curious with the photographs of children in the old days. Their parents would hold their children on their lap to keep them still. But what is a bit haunting is that their (the parents) faces and bodies would be shrouded in cloths or curtains.
In the late 1800’s, a photograph required about 30 seconds of exposure time to take. So anyone sitting for a portrait had to be able to sit still for at least a minute or so.
While the existence of the pictures proves that these parents accomplished their goal of getting their kids to sit for a portrait, it also proves that a grown-up holding a baby while under a dark shroud is really creepy…
