Asia Camera Museum

Asia Camera Museum (19 March 2016)


Asia Camera Museum (GPS: 5.417705, 100.329240) is a private museum dedicated to celebrating photographic equipment and photography. It is housed on the upper floor of 10 Burmah Road, the building which once house Kuan Lok Bakery in the Seventies. The group floor is occupied by Canon Image Square.

The Asia Camera Museum should appeal to camera buffs, people who are particularly into cameras, especially vintage cameras and the history of photography. There's a whole lot of old cameras to look at. For example, you can go through the different models of Canon SLRs from the pre-digital to the digital age. Then there's an array of medium format cameras and the entire set up of the Siow Seong Photo Studio, complete with dark room.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
