Museo Víztaz is a foundation based in Medellín, Colombia, that runs an itinerant museum focused on the history of photography. Its signature programme, El Poncherazo, uses reconstructed wooden box cameras and traditional darkroom processes to show visitors how street and studio photography worked in the twentieth century. The project visits fairs, book fairs, public squares and tourist sites across Colombia, and its exhibits are displayed at Pueblito Paisa in Medellín. The foundation's stated purpose is to keep older customs and technologies from being forgotten and to share them with the public.
