From 1906 onwards the chemist Erich Stenger (1878-1957) collected systematically for a (technology) museum of photography that was never built. Today his collection is part of Museum Ludwig – an art museum, therefore. On view, among others, are landscape photographs from the 19th century, aeroplane photographs from World War One, or portraits mounted as jewellery items. The objects and Stenger’s system of ordering are now presented in combination for the first time and transposed to a 21st-century museum of art.
