Museum of the History of Photography, Kraków
The Walery Rzewuski Museum of the History of Photography in Kraków is a state-run photography museum in Kraków, Poland, established as the only one of its kind a mere three years before the collapse of the Soviet empire. The venue survived the transition successfully owing to new programmes. The museum building is located on Józefitów 16 street in the Krowodrza district.
The Museum's mission is the collection and popularizing of historical photographs, as well as research and more recently the digitization of images for the online museum. Aside from exhibits and international symposiums, the museum has a collection of early photographic equipment and its own vast library of albums, archives, catalogs, books and manuals, as well as a press room.
