Definitely worth to visit. Comprehensive collection of cameras from the oldest to the latest. The guide is knowledgeable, kind and friendly. You can also play with some of the vintage cameras and leave the photo in your cellphone.

Walked by and had to visit as we’re professional photographers! Such a fascinating museum run by passionate people. The staff gave us a tour around the museum and let us interact with vintage cameras. She explained the history and how they worked. Definitely worth a visit if you’re passionate about photography and cameras. Also a very good respite from the heat or rain.

Very comprehensive collection. The tour is with very professional and detailed introductions about the history of all the cameras. You can have close experience with several machines. Highly recommended!

May gave us a very detailed tour/crash course on the history of cameras. She was a very knowledgeable guide and was very welcoming. Many antique cameras were still functional and we got an opportunity to see how they work, and got a bunch of cool photos (phone camera via the antique camera lenses). Definitely worth the visit.

One of the best small museums ever! The lady, who is the guide explained everything and showed how old cameras work! Amazing place, worth the stop!!!

Great visit even if you’re not camera enthusiasts. The Aunty and uncle explained everything to us passionately, all the history and details about each camera. We went at a quiet time so they had a lot of time to talk to us, however I can see why people would say that they feel rushed when it’s busy, as it is only the 2. Despite that it’s really a must go!

The place kinda chill and the guide is very helpful and cheerful. We can experience using the camera there and the guide constantly offered to take your picture. They offered a student price too

Grateful to have decided to pay this place a visit!

For those who are in love with photography like myself, you will be indulged in an unforgettable experience, you may see as well the dark room where they used to process the films.

The guide there is very respectful and helpful, enjoy the details :)

Accidentally stop at this edgy museum around Armenian Street and I would say this musem is a compulsary place to visit, especially for those who are camera addict. Hence, if you have zero interest about photography, I bet you'll be impressed. It is a compact yet content museum. The guide was amazingly passionate and friendly, she wouldn't even miss a thing to explain about the history of cameras there. The most interesting part was you could try on some cameras there ✨

It's a small and lovely place ran solely by 2 person who are deeply knowledgeable about their exhibits. Best for quiet enjoyment along with the guided tour. Do be careful to not knock or disturb some of the display, we can do our part and preserve these actual pieces of history for our next generation to enjoy.

Fantastic small museum dedicated to camera technology. The smell of the dark room brought back many memories. I was lucky enough to have a guided tour by May as well, most informative.

The guide is very knowledgeable and keen to interact with the guests and show the pieces hands on. I'd recommend it to those with even a slight interest in camera history.

My partner and I had a wonderful time exploring this museum. Their collection is impressive and the curator is extremely kind, knowledgeable and fun! We spent about one hour at the museum, which includes a few interactive vintage camera exhibits. Highly recommend this museum to any photographers or hobbyists.
