Well its located in Santa Monica next to a senior rectrational center and by the famous Santa Monica peir. It was put in 1955, the camara that revoltionized art. The turret that holds the lens and mirror can be seen at the center of the roof. I personally havent been there but i hear its a very cool experience. The device consists of a box or room with a hole in one side. Light from an external scene passes through the hole and strikes a surface inside where it is reproduced, upside-down. The picture can be projected onto paper, and can then be traced to produce a high quality image.
This is the image of the inside of it. There is a ship wheel that allows the person to rotate the lense into the direction pleased. But generally its the same thing as a pin hole camera.
