The Minija Cinema in Gargždai, which opened after its reconstruction, boasts a cinema equipment exhibition installed on the initiative of the long-time cinema administrator Jonas Mikutis. Various old devices from the personal collection of Jonas Mikutis are exhibited there.
When visiting the cinema, you will see a variety of cameras – including movie cameras – projectors and other various film-related equipment. Those interested in photography won't be disappointed with the museum, as a considerable part of the exhibition is dedicated to photography. Cameras of brands such as Moscow, Smena, Leica, Fed, Zenit, Lomo, Polaroid, Kodak and more reveal the history of photography. Both older and newer, wide-band cameras, instant cameras, cameras with rangefinders, Russian, German, English and other cameras are displayed in the exhibition. You will also see the old model of a panoramic camera, as well as very small old ‘spy’ cameras and a whole stand of miniature cameras.
