    A spectacular photography museum. Still no Magalasi perspective is presented, specially on the documentaries displayed. I recommend visiting this place for more understanding the colony period and mentality.

    Lovely little museum! I thoroughly enjoyed learning about aviation and photography at this museum. They have some enjoyable short videos plus some images and information to view. There is also a lovely view of the city from the museum cafe.

    Highly recommend visiting after the queen's palace. A couple short movies make use of old photographs to provide interesting documentaries about different subjects about the country (history, religion, medecine, transportation...) Upstairs, a themed photo exhibit is presented. At the time of writing, the subject was the traditional Malagasy "Lamba" cloth.

    They have six short documentaries about Madagascar and its cultural heritage, made up of historic photographs in 3 languages. In addition, there's also a number of photographs on display on the walls with explanations. A small souvenir shop (beautiful postcards!), a temporary photo exposition in the garden (environment conservation) and a lovely garden restaurant. Great views from the hilltop. Overall worth a visit.

    Beautiful layout but I felt it was too pricey at €5 entrance fee for the displays it was offering. It had 4 rooms projecting about a total of eight 4-5 minutes films of still photos with narrations. The narration is available in Malagasy, French and English and you can click for your language of choice. But the person doing the English narration had such a strong accent that it was difficult to follow. I expected to see more photographs on display but very sparse. They have a beautiful garden and I hear their cafe is great but I didn’t get an opportunity to go there.

    Nice museum but but too small for everything that they could conceivably show. Definitely, wish that it was larger so that they would be able to more of their permanent collection. Their video presentations on the first floor were good and the upstairs rotating show was good. There are pictures of the interior to post as pictures are not allowed.

    Small but interesting museum with many videos explaining both the history of Malagasy photography and the temporary exhibition. On the top floor, the exhibition in well designed. I would have liked to have also a permanent space with old photos of Antananarivo and other main cities. Great view of Antananarivo from the top floor.
