A hall dedicated to photography, with a large number of donated cameras, rare equipment, photography accessories and visual material from the archives of the “Chaniotika Nea” newspaper, including photographs from the late 19th century.
In the same space, there is also a volume that includes the first example of a photograph converted into an engraving for printing in “L’ Illustration” newspaper, as mentioned in a report from 1848.
