In [[1987]] a group of people brought together through the '''Parallaxi''' society set up the first museum of photography in [[Thessaloniki]]. However, this endeavour did not fare as it should have done. In [[1995]] the Organization for Thessaloniki Cultural Capital 1997 founded the Museum of Photography, which has been an independent body since [[1998]]. Since December [[2001]] the museum has been housed in Warehouse 1 in Thessaloniki harbour, the same building which houses the [[Cinema Museum]].

The museum's mission is to collect photographs, especially historical and artistic photographs of Greece, to organize exhibitions and events to show the museum’s collection, to join forces with other similar bodies and work together, and to publish books on photography.

The museum has 57 photographs and 700 negatives by the photographer Nelly, photographer [[Socrates Iordanides (photographer)|Socrates Iordanides’]] archive, with themes from fashion, news stories, cityscapes and such like from the [[1950s]], [[1960s|60s]] and [[1970s|70s]], and is ready to go ahead with the purchase of the collection entitled ''Picture and Image'' (the work of 39 contemporary Greek photographers), the archive of photographer [[Yiannis Stylianos (photographer)|Yiannis Stylianos]] and part of the collection entitled New Images.

Since [[1999]] the museum has collaborated with a host of Greek and international bodies to undertake the organization of [[Photo Synkyria]], the country's most important and longest-lasting photographic institution.
