The Russian Museum of Photography is one of the latest museums in Nizhny Novgorod.

The Museum of Photography is located in a building constructed in the 19th century. Andrey Osipovich Karelin, known as the founder of art photography, and the founder of press photography Maxim Petrovich Dmitriyev worked in this building. The second floor of this building housed their photographic pavilion, designed and built specially for their work. To provide more light, the streetward wall of the pavilion and the roof were made of glass. At the end of the 19th century, the family of Maxim Dmitriyev lived on the third living floor, and his phototype laboratory was situated on the first floor.

The museum’s collection already comprises over 200,000 inventory units. They include daguerreotypes, negatives, stereoscopic negatives, positives, stereoscopic positives, postcards, cameras, enlargers, photo albums, medals, letters, and personal belongings of renowned photographers dating from the 1870s up to the present moment.

Exhibits are marked with AR stickers for identification purposes.
