Photographers and cameras of the 19th–20th centuries
Якщо ви гадаєте, що фотографувати — популярне хобі ХХІ століття, то ніт. Два століття тому людей, які бігали по Харкову з камерою і знімали місто, також вистачало. Тож приготуйтесь, зараз ви дізнаєтесь, як і на що робили фото раніше!

The short video stories focus on the background of the artefacts and on facts from their history that are often unknown to the wider public. The museum staff hope that “revealing” these objects will draw attention to the collection and encourage more people to visit.
The scripts were written by the museum staff, who also took part in the filming as storytellers.
