The outing will include a visit to the Rosphoto State Museum and the ‘Inside an Antique Camera’ exhibition on permanent display there.
The building housing the museum is a vivid example of Northern Art Nouveau, decorated with majolica based on the work of Nicholas Roerich. Decorative components of the interior design include a relief frieze celebrating the Russian North, colorful Tiffany stained-glass windows, and a wide range of ceramic stoves and tiled fireplaces from the early 20th century.
The ‘Inside an Antique Camera’ permanent exhibition is a fascinating introduction to the technical side of photography. It features early optical inventions, such as camera obscura, rare cameras from the museum’s collection, such as Kodak’s first roll-film hand camera, four-lens cameras, stereoscopes, large format cameras from the second half of the 19th century, and more. The centrepiece of the exhibition is an installation that allows viewers to go inside an antique camera and use modern digital technologies to create their own daguerreotype and albumen print portrait.

A participant badge (participants are asked to register ahead of time in their personal web office for one of a limited number of places) is needed to attend. The group will meet at the Rosphoto ticket office on the second floor of 35, Bolshaya Morskaya Ulitsa.
