I think it's small-minded to attempt to separate cameras from photography. On the other hand, cameras are easily divisible from finished photographs. A number of the Japanese museums listed are galleries that concentrate on the work of a particular photographer (usually dead); these often give space to other photograph exhibitions, and may very well exhibit the photographer's own camera(s), but aren't camera museums by any stretch of the term. I suggest getting rid of these. -- [[User:Hoary|Hoary]] 00:19, 23 April 2007 (EDT) | I think it's small-minded to attempt to separate cameras from photography.

Museums of what?
We read:
- Camera museums / List of camera and photography museums
I think it's small-minded to attempt to separate cameras from photography. On the other hand, cameras are easily divisible from finished photographs. A number of the Japanese museums listed are galleries that concentrate on the work of a particular photographer (usually dead); these often give space to other photograph exhibitions, and may very well exhibit the photographer's own camera(s), but aren't camera museums by any stretch of the term. I suggest getting rid of these. -- Hoary 00:19, 23 April 2007 (EDT)
