Collections - Photography

The Photography Collection is one of the finest and most extensive anywhere in the world. It is best regarded as a collection of collections, encompassing not only that of the Science Museum, but other world-class collections such as The Royal Photographic Society Collection, the Kodak Museum and the Daily Herald Archive. We cover the aesthetic and technical developments of photography, from the earliest experiments to contemporary digital imaging. One of the major strengths of the Collection is its diversity. All major genres, applications and photographic movements are represented.
