Background
The biggest part of the museum is represented by the Avgust and Maria Bohanec Photography Collection. Avgust Bohanec (b. 1933) was a Slovene locksmith, who in the late 1950s moved to the USA. There he became a deal in photography equipment, a repair service provider and a representative of the Leica cameras manufacturer. Together with his wife Maria he also became a renowned collector of photography equipment.
In the late 1980s, the pair decided to donate their collection to the city of Maribor in order to be presented in a public museum. The donated collection featured 1,645 items, including more than 1,100 cameras, film cameras and projectors.
