Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: Step into a warmly lit studio and you’ll feel the hush of meticulous darkroom work, while racks of glass negatives and antique cameras seem to whisper family stories. Curators have preserved a surprisingly large portion of the original archive, so dozens of portraits and hundreds of negatives survive intact and let you trace personal histories through generations.
Kohokohdat: Step into the old studio and the smell of developer and waxed wood hits you, while shelves of wooden and brass cameras and albums of hand-colored portraits still bear Josef Seidel's penciled notes and studio stamps. On certain guided tours a docent will hand you an original brass plate camera and show how a glass negative slowly materializes beneath a red lamp, the silver image appearing like a ghost right before your eyes.
