Sixteen photographs were taken by Joseph Nicephore who was born in France in 1765. He took sixteen photographs and three are now kept in the museum. The photographs needed an exposure of about eight hours. These photographs were taken in 1827. The photos were exposed by using chemicals on metal plates to light. This was called as heliography. This man was the first person to take a photograph. His first photograph shows a view from a window of his house in Burgundy.
