The museum is dedicated to the history of Russian photography. Among the exhibits are ancient and modern cameras, a collection of photographic equipment, instruments, and, of course, the photos themselves. To the older generation, many of the museum's exhibits will be familiar firsthand, because among them there are Soviet photo enlargers, development baths, red lanterns for working in a dark room, etc.
