Deutsches Kameramuseum, Technology museum in Plech, Germany.
The Deutsches Kameramuseum in Plech displays more than 2,500 cameras documenting the technical evolution of photography from early designs to modern equipment. The exhibits include various device types and models that illustrate this development.
The museum was founded in 2011 and documents the development of camera technology since its origins. The collection traces photographic innovation across several generations.
The collection tells the story of everyday photography by featuring ordinary cameras that German families used over the decades. It focuses on familiar devices rather than rare treasures.
The museum is located in the region between Nuremberg and Bayreuth and is easily accessible by car. Visitors should check opening hours ahead since access is limited.
The museum houses a giant working reproduction of a camera that produces negatives in oversized formats. This installation is a rare example of experimental photography architecture that visitors can explore themselves.
