Hundreds of old cameras and camcorders are displayed in a unique arrangement, covering the entire space of a coffee shop located on Le Hong Phong Street, Nga Bay City, Hau Giang Province.

Mr. Nguyen Hoang Nam - the owner of the camera collection - shared his passion for art, especially owning both classic and modern cameras and video cameras.

So for over 10 years, Mr. Nam has been wandering everywhere, wherever he hears of an old machine for sale, he goes there.

The walls are used to display cameras.

"I accumulate every day, looking for old photographers in Hanoi, now I have 700 cameras and camcorders from brands such as Canon, Nikon, Yashica, Pentax, Mamiya, Ricoh, Minolta... Most of them are several decades old, the oldest is over 80 years old", Mr. Nam happily introduced his precious collection.

An open space for those who are passionate about photography

To share his passion with friends, relatives and tourists when they come to Hau Giang, Mr. Nam has displayed his collection in the open space of Coffee Like so that visitors can enjoy a cup of hot coffee and experience and hold the old cameras that they have only seen in the media before.

If you want to learn about cameras, this collection is also quite complete for you to explore.

Mr. Nam added that because the cameras are displayed in an open space and not in a closed storage room, they must be regularly cleaned and lubricated to minimize damage, because many of these cameras are still working well.
