The Work in Progress Finally Looks More Like a Work and Less Like Just Progress

I began the museum as part of a "build-along" project on line.  The deadline for completion was today, June 1st, but I know I'll be working and re-working this project for quite a while.  It is a museum, after all, and museums have changing displays. . . .

While the second floor studio still needs quite a lot of work -- like a nice camera on a tripod, for example -- the place really is beginning to look presentable.  The museum will represent photography from the original image by Joseph Nicephore Niepce through about the 1930's  (with one notable exception, which I'll tell you about later).  See what you think.

I'm thinking of putting large billboard style images on the third floor blank walls.

The first floor main gallery area.  On the table on the right, you'll find a stereoscope with pictures and a stack of cabinet prints from the late 1800's.

The second floor will eventually be a portrait studio

The third floor provides a few amenities for the photographers and staff
