George Town, Malaysia
The Camera Museum

A vintage camera collection charting the captivating evolution of cameras.

Set in an old shophouse that exudes a cosy, vintage vibe, George Town’s Camera Museum is a riveting expedition through the birth of the camera and the succeeding spawn of photography technology. Travel back in time to see early camcorders and clunky accordion-like cameras, and all the way back to the boxy wood camera obscura that set the framework of camera technology. This is where you get the rare chance to fiddle with antique cameras and try them out for yourself. Besides the rich repository of now-obscure cameras throughout the eras, the museum also features offbeat camera models that cannot be found in a typical household, ranging from morbidly callous gun cameras to James Bond-esque spy cameras. Step inside the dark room to learn the inner workings of the archaic film development process from a bygone era. Finally, round it off with a cup of steaming coffee in the museum’s in-house café, and perhaps drop by the souvenir store to score a vintage camera yourself as well. Filled with fascinating trivia and old-time technology, the Camera Museum is bound to convert anyone into a photography-lover.
