The Provincial Museum of
Photography uses photographs, pieces of equipment and other object and
documents to illustrate the history of this technique and art. It is one of
the world’s major museums in the genre. The basis of the collection was put together in 1965 for an exhibition at the Sterckxhof Museum (in the district of Deurne, then art and crafts museum). There the collection grew until it became a permanent film and photography section. In 1986 it was given a home of its own in the renovated ‘Vlaanderen’, or Flanders, warehouse, again in the district known as the Zuid. Visitors can peruse such items as the photographic album of the World Fair in London (1851). A portable developing cabinet, the Dubroni cameras and an automatic stereoscope dating from 1905, also merit a special mention. Essential viewing for amateurs and experts alike.
