The Museum invites visitors to take a journey through the origin and development of photography through the collection at Museo Universidad de Navarra. The collection has as its central support the collection of Spanish and Latin American photography together with the collection on the Orient, prepared to facilitate the understanding of the photographic phenomenon as a whole.

The exhibition addresses the different facets of the nature of the photographic phenomenon as the origin of changes in the perception and definition of reality, but also as responsible for the renewal of languages and artistic disciplines since 1839, the year of the presentation of its invention, to the present day.

It also addresses the conceptual origins of the birth of photography such as, on the one hand, the physical, optical and chemical advances and, on the other hand, the iconographic creation, each time with a more realistic appearance, within the tradition of scientific illustration that was renewed and exploited in the 18th century.

In the exhibition A Promised Land. From the Age of Enlightenment to the birth of photography, with around 900 pieces, the rooms of the Museum are populated to show the existence and appearance of the photographic phenomenon, centered on a trip to the Orient, and its impact on the development and evolution of the image in society until the mid-nineteenth century.
