An archival museum that has a plethora of photographic artifacts from photographs to cameras to heavy machinery. a really insightful place to learn about the history of photography in Mauritius and also France as these are linked. They do work within a small space so there is a lot put into the area. The staff are friendly and polite and happy to give further insight and try out some demos on some of the machines. It is a paid entry as it’s a private museum, although would recommend for lovers of history and photography.

An amazing collection of cameras under one roof. Even more fascinating is the treasure trove of old prints showing the history of Mauritius through the lens. And all thanks to the perseverance of one man, the late Tristan Bréville who put this priceless collection together.

Amazing place. It is the collection of a lifetime which dates back in time. Devices were kept in very good condition to the point that some of them still works perfectly regardless of their age. We had the opportunity to use one particular device called stereoscope which gives the sensation of being emerged in a 3D environment. Entrance fee is affordable and we even had a guided tour with accurate explanation about the history of photography. I completely recommend

The museum looks very interesting but at Rs300 for a tourist and Rs200 for a resident, it is a bit out of our budget. Perhaps they could do a special during these times to attract some visitors?

One room private museum, paid entry fee of rs100 at the current time.

(Translated by Google) It is worth mentioning that it is worth 35 riyals per person (Original) فاضي ما فيه شي وغير كذا غالي ب ٣٥ ريال للشخص الواحد

We can find photo from Mauritius and Mauritius history in photo

We had a very quick walk, but we were impressed by the diversity in age and type of cameras. Highly recommend for any passionate photograph.

Very nice place to see the collection of old photographs. I appreciate the hard work of founder Tristan Breville.. We can see the collection of first photography method daguerrotype 1843. Also there is many types of lens cameras old projectors will be very interesting for who crazy on photography.

A very interesting and delightful experience,which I highly recommend. We were surprised with a personalized presentation from the owner Tristan Bréville, who was very informative. I was delighted to discover that the first photograph taken in the southern hemisphere was taken in Mauritius, just mere months after the rediscovery of the method of photography in 1839.

Hidden gem in Port Louis - there’s no wait to get in and the guide is very kind

Great place to go if you want to escape your daily routine. You'll discover old cameras, a lot about the history of mauritius. The people there are really welcoming, they engage in a conversation rather than just give you facts about the artefacts. Would highly recommend everyone to give it a try.

Very good place to visit you should go with your photographer friend

Was closed Monday 1:45 pm although it should be open till 3 pm...

The history of Mauritius thru photograph. Worth a visit

Nice experience

A gorgeous little spot with so much history! We were delighted to have a little tour by the owner herself- also so amazing to hear the story of how the collection came together, as well as a lot of really interesting information on how photography has developed over the years. Well worth the visit and came away with trinket or two!

One of the best museum I’ve visited in Mauritius.
