Editor's Description

Last updated: Nov 13, 2023
Tucked above Anfu Lu's western edge is a little museum dedicated to the history of cameras in China, stocking camera models dating back to 1920 (and some before). Special focus is Seagull, China's oldest camera manufacturer, but they've also got more familiar names like Leica, Nikon and Rolleiflex. There are some awesome cutaways of lenses and camera bodies, and some stupendously expensive medium formats inside glass cases. If you're not a gearhead you'll probably find they all look similar, but it's well put-together, and it's interesting to see the camera repair workbenches laid out. Some of them even seem to still be in use. They hold events and stuff in the café space, too. Free entry.
