The house owned by famous photographer in the Urals Veniamin Leontievich Metenkov http://www.ekaterinburgguide.com/eng/393/396/ was built at the end of the 19th century in Ekaterinburg (Karl Liebknecht St., 36), where was a photo studio in the house. Nowadays the Museum displays photo studio of the beginning of the 20th century, large collection of photos, unique collections of old cameras.
