Fotomuseum Antwerpen (3-9-2005)

They're supposed to have an impressive collection of photographs and camera's but sadly there was only one exhibit (the other wing was closed) with Belgian photographers from A to Z.

Nice pictures for sure but the big attraction for me was the "keizerspanorama": a big round wooden viewmaster (remember those?) with 20 stereo-pics of the Antwerp Zoo from the end of the 19th century. Ofcourse we watched all the pics doing our version of musical chairs ;-)
The old pics (especially the daguerreotypes) and camera's were thrilling too.

It's a nice museum and it's well worth a visit if there's an exhibit you want to see. And in our case, this time, it was free anyway ;-)
