This fridge-sized Polaroid camera – used by Andy Warhol, Ansel Adams and Sally Mann – has been restored and is touring the world with modern artists

CAMBRIDGE, MA - AUGUST 15: Andy Warhol stands among portraits of himself in Polaroid's 20x24 studio in Cambridge, Mass., on Aug. 15, 1979. (Photo by Joe Runci/The Boston Globe via Getty Images).

In 1976, Polaroid built a massive instant camera that stood 6.5 feet / 2 meters tall and weighed 235 pounds / 107 kg – roughly the size of an average refrigerator. That camera would go on to be used by names like Ansel Adams, Sally Mann and Andy Warhol.

Now, fifty years later, the camera is once again being used by modern artists.
