German Museum of Photography

  • Museum/art collection
The unique collection of the Deutsches Fotomuseum tells the artistic and technical history of photography in an impressive way.
Framed by the futuristic architecture of the museum building, the Deutsches Fotomuseum in Markkleeberg houses a cross-section of the history of photography. Photographic works of art and milestones are on display in the permanent exhibition "Fotofaszination" and the changing special exhibitions. In addition, numerous cameras, some of them rare, from various decades tell the story of the technical history of photography. The perfect place for photography enthusiasts and those who want to become one.

In addition to the permanent exhibition, there are always two special exhibitions on display.
