Asia’s biggest Vintage Camera Museum Singapore. The Vintage Camera Museum is a camera museum in Kampong Glam which is a neighborhood and ethnic enclave in Singapore. Started by steel trader Solaiyappan Ramanathan and his cousin (and artist) A.P. Shreethar, the camera museum opened on 1 June 2017. It was started to educate people about the evolution of cameras. The exhibits consist of approximately 1,000 cameras from the personal collections of Ramanathan and Shreethar, who both collectively own 7,000 cameras. The cameras are from as far back as the late 19th century all the way to the early 2000s and include a pigeon camera, a Minox spy camera, and Rokuoh-sha Type 89 ‘Machine Gun’ camera that was used by the Japanese as a training weapon during World War II. Ramanathan bought a building located at Jalan Kledek and retrofitted it. The façade of the building is shaped after a Rollei camera, and is thus called the ‘world’s biggest camera-shaped building’. Housed in the 2,500 sq ft (230 m2) building are the Vintage Camera Museum, and Click Art Museum, which showcase Shreethar’s artwork while allowing visitors to experiment with photography with the art pieces.
