Amateur photographers who print and develop their own photographs often set up a temporary darkroom in a bathroom. This invention, entitled “darkroom module”is to be placed in front of an open door of a room, such as a bathroom, to facilitate the use of the room as a darkroom by providing: a light seal enabling the bathroom to be light-tight a working area which permits the permanent mounting of photographic equipment such as an enlarger, timer, color analyzer, etc. storage area a light-proof air inlet in which a ventilating fan may be installed, if required, for adequate ventilation electrical outlets for photographic equipment. When the darkroom is not required, the module is to be moved to another location. Since much of the equipment may be mounted permanently and the other equipment may be stored in the module, the setting-up time for conversion of the bathroom to a temporary darkroom is minimized.
