Its story

The museum was founded in 2017 by the Malatya Metropolitan Municipality with the collection donated by the camera repairer and collector Baki Tamer Selçuk. More than two thousand cameras dating from 1876 to the present are displayed in sections together with numerous accessories; spy cameras hidden in watches, surveillance cameras fitted on birds and gold-plated cameras produced in limited numbers are among the most interesting pieces. The museum also has a cinema and projection room and a darkroom. Promoted as one of the largest museums in the country in its field, it is in the same Sanat Sokağı area as the Radio and Gramophone Museum.
