Farid’s Camera Museum was established and registered in 1968. It is the personal collection of Mr Farid, a photographer himself since his early years. The museum houses a collection of about 3000 cameras from across time periods—from the pinhole-box camera to the latest digital and DSLR cameras. The museum is located inside Mr Farid’s residence, Farid Manzil, and can be visited through a prior appointment only. The array is lined up in shelves spread over two floors, and all the cameras are in good condition. The museum also includes camera accessories such as lens, filters, flashguns, meters, colour and black and white enlargers, analysers, processing equipment, and allied accessories. It also has a room dedicated to movie projectors; different formats such as 7.5–8mm, 16mm and 35 mm are present in the museum. Mr Farid himself gives a tour of the museum as he talks about various models, and shares his personal experiences as a photographer and as a curator. Workshops, training sessions, information sessions, etc., are also organised at the museum for interested students, visitors, and other audiences.
