ASMR at the museum | Take a photo with a Victorian sliding box camera | V&A
Ойын-сауық
// Listen with headphones for best experience //
Join Assistant Curator Hana Kaluznick as she shows us a Victorian sliding box camera made in about 1880, and demonstrates how it would have been used. The sliding box camera advanced how photographs were taken in the 19th century, allowing the photographer to vary the focal length. This meant that they could get closer to, or further away from, the subject than ever before.
Watch and listen as Hana shows us the details of the camera including the engraved silver lens and original label, before carefully adjusting the length of the box and sliding open the mahogany plate holder.

@@vamuseumplease bring her back!! Her voice is literally one of the most soothing and it’s gotten me to actually pay attention to all the details
Please bring Hana back 🙏 she did an amazing job and was so informative and relaxing at the same time! She has the perfect voice for asmr
Perfect voice, perfect content, so relaxing and interesting.
These old cameras were amazing. The depth that the glass plates capture is incredible. Better than any modern camera can do even now. I’ve seen a couple in real life and the image quality and depth is second to none
Please make her the designated ASMR curator!! Her voice is so soothing!
I really hope Hana does more of these videos!!!! Her voice is PERFECT!!!! I haven’t had tingles in such a long time, I was losing hope. I was lucky to come across this video and was able to relax enough to fall asleep with ease! More of Hana, please!!!❤❤
Please please please can we have some more of these!!! Especially from the fabulous people like this lady who can actually do soft spoken/whisper. Simply glorious to listen too but also incredibly interesting to learn Thank you!!! 👏
Such a beautiful camera I second that we need more antique photography!
Wake up besties new v&a asmr video dropped

… but …. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ❤
Loved seeing her image in the ground glass as a way to visually demonstrate the processes she's talking about
ASMR at the museum is some of the most interesting ASMR made. Thank you so much!!
All of the tingles with this one, thank you. Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
as a photographer, i am in awe
I wish they’d used a piece of silver coated photo paper to take a real photo. That would’ve been the icing on the cake to this already wonderful video.
need hannah in the credits at the end really, not just "with thanks to"! She absolutely made this video great
ASMR at the Museum is a brilliant series. I only just discovered it yesterday so I have plenty of content to dig in to. 🎉😊 Thank you, V&A!
I love these videos 🫶🫶
That last sentence was asmr gold
So happy the series is continuing every new episode is fascinating and relaxing
I want all the cameras or a few to be intorduced by her and then edited into a longer compilation, so I can fall asleep to it. So interesting and calming. These videos are such great promo to your collection, I am setting V&A as my top priority if I ever visit UK.
YAY SO HAPPY WE NEED MORE
Dont stop making these videos, i just love them.
Such an amazing advertisement for the museum, also great to see the interesting objects that are being spoke about. Relaxing and engaging, whilst being educational. Top shelf content.
Early cameras are impressive for their time…Her voice is perfect for this.
When another episode of your fave asmr and museum collab EVER drops 😍😍
I am in love with their ASMR series ❤. Ooh, would love a long one!
Please never stop doing these!
Give this woman a raise
I’m so glad to see a new asmr video. I missed this series so much
Yes!!!!! Finally!!!!! Never stop doing these.
The tingles! Wow. Thanks V&A. Such a great series.
LOVE the combination of history and learning and ASMR. Thank you for making this series.
Amazing! thank you for sharing this camera with us.
Oh my Lord, this is awesome ASMR. Please do more!!!!
I think this is my new favorite ASMR at the museum! So tingly and such an interesting subject ❤
Nice tingles! Great video!
this was amazingly well done
Didn’t expect to fall asleep to this last night. Thank you for the ASMR quality 😊
Thank you all so much!! It is so wonderful to learn something new in a relaxed environment. Your videos really help me when I get stressed out at work or can't sleep. I also love watching them to learn and about preservation. Bless you all! ❤️💋
bro I keep rewinding the video to the start her voice is something else it is so relaxing listening from my studio speakers is amazing
Wow her voice 🤩🤩🤩
She needs to do more videos!
Interesting and relaxing. Looking forward to more ASMR. Thank you! 💜📸
Never eeeeever stop making these pretty please! 🖤🖤🖤
This is an incredible video, and has surprisingly sparked an interest in photography without real film or photos. Fascinating
Omg she is really good at ASMR
Amazing voice and sounds!
More of these videos please ❤
That voice could tell me anything, danced wonderfully across this mind. All this was so nice, everyone be good to each other.
This was great! I want more!
I didn't know this is what I needed!!
I really loved this video ❤ Natural from this channel to bring interesting information with relaxing methods such as her voice and tact ✨ More of this 🤎🧡 Thanks
This was brilliant
Great voice. But please also bring back SUSANA FAJARDO!!!!! The conservation lady!
Wonderful indeed.
Fascinating!
We need one hour versions of these! Although the content was way too interesting to fall asleep!
Wish I had a job like being a curator at a museum like the V&A. I wanted to do it at uni, but there just aren't enough jobs in Australia. What a dream
Omg I missed these
As a wet-plate photographer and an asmr lover this is awesome
This video is fantastic :D
Please get her on another asmr video!!
More Hana please!
Amazing!
Her voice melts me
This woman is a natural - more Hana, please!

Really nice ASMR! Perfect voice, but needs to be about an hour longer.
Great job on the camera collection so far. I'd like to see some insight on one of the Eastman-Kodak models on display.
Please make more asmr , amazing voice
I got a deja vu at the end
Super pretty 😊
Omg this is rediculously relaxing and informative, i loved everything about this video. I hope you guys consider doing more 😊
Makes me wonder how long a camera like this took to construct. Evidently quite awhile as evidence by the intricate dovetailing on the side panels and closely fitted brass fixtures. Focusing on upside down subjects as seen in box cameras of that time always struck me almost as tricky as guessing the time it took to get the sharpest image.
More plz I especially want more old ass books
Nice
My boyfriend just commented the other day on people in old photographs always looking so serious, and I explained the long exposure times (which is why babies so often had blurred features). I didn't know all the other workings, though, like what the cover was for or what that slide-in panel did! Last note: I don't mean to sound ungrateful, they probably don't have a lot of time to devote to video making, but I really do wish these videos were a bit longer! I know an hour is out of the question, but we could've gotten at least 15 minutes from the rest of the collection, right? >_> (She really did have a wonderful voice for it!)
All the stuff back then that's made of plastic now was wood..experts had to know how to manipulate wood to get the shapes and fits down to basically machined part tolerances or high precision. When you look at the Ancient Egyptian's, they basically did this with stone. Extremely impressive work. We discovered petroleum though, and so our world is a plastic world, for better or for worse. It'll probably be our demise, but the point is when we think of technology we envision it done with plastic (mold it, 3D print it and shape it and mass produce it this way, which is usually FAR easier and a much more predictable material) while the folks of the past thought in terms of wood or stone. Anyway the craftsmanship is amazing. It all tells a story. An expert can look at that and tell you the order each part was cut and assembled, how many steps it took, how many machines it took and people it took and how long it took to make it. Anything made of wood today costs a lot. Practically nothing is solid wood now..hold onto that old furniture.
We are spoiled with 10-30 shots per second in our modern cameras when this camera probably took 5 minutes to set up for one photo. So crazy.
No matter how many times this is explained to me, I’ll never fully understand how this works 😂
Play this in .75 speed it’s way better for same

Omg thanks. Very tingly this way
Sorry for simping, but her smile is the best. And she's perfect for this. Her and Catriona are my favorites.
What does one have to do in order to work at the V&A?
I want to be a curator , even do it for free because of these videos.
❤
Can Hana come back for episode 2 please? 🤞🏻
Love the ASMR - this type of camera is actually called a tailboard. They are still manufactured by hand to order today
Not all sounds are equal. I found wood on wood and wood on foam core more disturbing than relaxing. Would have liked to have seen more of the camera, such as the inside perspective. Also, what type of plate does this camera take? Glass? How did the photographer calculate focal length for this camera? How long is the typical exposure? Toxicity of chemicals? Video could be somewhat longer.
Please show all 10 cameras
Y'all lost me at the Dollshouse but I'm glad you came back with this!
Watch this, then listen to little fluffy clouds by the orb 😁
how did they get those children to sit so still for the photo?
I literally thought this was Maude Apatow
Do I need a chemistry qualification to do this job sry for asking
The glass was etched with sandwich breath
Can you get them to whisper ?
she could read me anything.
❤
