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)

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)

More concretely:

  • Machida City Museum of Photography
    • Seems to be mostly devoted to the photographs of Akiyama Shoutarou
  • Irie Taikichi Memorial Museum of Photography Nara City
    • The name suggests that it's devoted to the works of Irie.
  • Shoji Ueda Museum of photography

  • Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts
    • A gallery of photographs.
  • Shiro Shirahata Photo Gallery
    • The name suggests that it's devoted to the works of Shirahata.
