Experience a unique journey through time, with an inspiring self tour of michaels world-famous camera museum! Cameras and photographic equipment have been part of the Michaels family business since 1928. At that time, michaels was primarily a pharmacy combined with a small range of photograp hic equipment.
The camera collection began in a modest way during the 1950's. michaels began operating as a specialty camera store in 1975.Due to the imposed import restrictions following World War II, the number of cameras obtainable for resale were severely limited.
I went to this museum with heather before we saw the southern skies gallery.
I was in such awe lookign at all the types of cameras, flashes and light meter readers from years and years ago.
i loved the look of all of them and wanted them all for my own collection. that day i told myself i want to start collecting cameras of all sorts from all ages. and wanted to have my own petrie camera because i liked the name. the next day i found two petries sitting in an old dusty box in an opshop. They're now mine.
