This basic optical principle of light producing an image inside a dark room is first mentioned by Chinese philosophers in the 5th century BCE, 稍后讨论 亚里士多德 (384-322 BCE), and in 1490 CE, 达芬奇 gave an account of a camera obscura at work in his notebooks.
In the 17th and 18th century, artists like 维米尔 used a camera obscura as a drawing aid, and the dark room was reduced in size to a portable black box. 的 image that could be witnessed in this smaller camera obscura box was fleeting until the beginning of the 19th century when Frenchman 路易·达盖尔 announced the first successful, permanent fixing of that image seen in the camera obscura on light-sensitive material in 1839. With that discovery, photography was born.

暗箱室 is free and open to the public between September and May when the gallery is open and exhibitions are on view.
