Create a Camera Obscura

Barber Home – make a camera obscura

Did you know you can turn a whole room into a camera obscura?

Explore our online exhibition Sights of Wonder by learning more about the Victorian photography of Francis Bedford. Bedford was the first photographer to ever accompany a royal tour. He photographed temples, pyramids, and people along the way.

This resource is designed for children aged 5+ and is linked to the year 2 and 6 science curriculum.
