We
had a great chance to visit the Jozef Maximilian Petzval Museum in
Spisska Bela. Andrzej is a photographer so we were laughing that
it was a must-see for him ;) I also enjoyed it realy much.

| Petzval inventions |
Jozef
Petzval was a mathematician, physicist and inventor who became famous
for his work in optics. His achievements are used today in
cinematography and astronomy. Among his inventions are the portrait
lens and wide-angle lens. He also
invented the opera glasses. You can see everything in the museum.
Museum
is located in the center of Spisska Bela in the house of Jozef
Petzval – the place where he was born and lived several years. The
number of exhibits gathered there made an impression on us. You will
find there not only the memorabilia of the inventor - the exhibition
includes more than 600 exhibits documenting the history of
photographic equipment. Beside the vast range of cameras and lenses
visitors have also a chance to see how camera
obscura and
darkroom
works or what stereoscopy
(3D imaging) is. A part of exhibition is devoted to the beginnings of
cinematography.
