Åland actually belongs to Finland. I've been there a few times but didn't know about the museum. Thanks for the link. I'll make sure to visit it the next tim I visit Åland.

They even had on display a camera belonging to the Arctic Explorer Fritjof Nansen.

Swedish is a north Germanic language and if one can read German, one probably understands a lot of it. (It is my native mother tongue thus I had no issues :D)

from Tord Lönn  :o :o :o :

Åland Photographic Museum opened in 2001 in Kastelholm in Aland. Olle Strömberg had then gathered photographic technology since 1967 and felt it was time to show their collections.

He was born in northern Skåne, Sweden 20 years earlier, and interest in photography started back when he was 10 and got his first camera as a present.

The collection expanded each year, through its own collection and partly through donations of cameras, projectors, film, camera accessories and so on.

In 2014 the museum moved to Bastövägen 7 Pålsböle there it's situated now.
The museum is divided into four parts, the first is a store with furnishings from the 1920s, replete with cameras, projectors, film, photography lamps, diaphoto equipment, photo corners, everything, everything that could found at a shop.

There are medium format cameras, and last but not least, a camera that belonged to Fridtjof Nansen and that he had with him at the North Pole Expedition 1893-1896 with the ship Fram.

As you continue your walking tour are digital cameras, equipment donated by the hospital in Aland and then you're in the dark room, which is all that was needed to develop, manufacture and copy photographs. The interiors of the darkroom comes in part from Godby Pharmacy.
