What does Kingston Museum have?

On display at the museum you can see the original Zoopraxiscope moving image projector, Muybridge's biunial lantern with which he delivered his famous lecture tours on the ‘Attitudes of Animals in Motion’, a rare panorama of San Francisco (1878) and assorted packing crates and ephemera.

At our Local History Research Library in the North Kingston Centre on Richmond Road, we keep the reserve collection (viewable by appointment) of Muybridge's lantern slides, zoopraxiscope discs, prints and a newspaper cutting book which Muybridge kept of his career and achievements.
