    Nice space with friendly multilingual staff. The exhibitions were good (three shows were on when I visited, including one on Roger Ballen). There is no entrance fee either. Well worth a visit, especially given it's in such a central location.

    Lovely place to pop in. Located in central of City. You can see old days of Montevideo ( around 1920s) and featured recent photographer’s works.

    Incredibly lame, amateurish photography that is 50-60 years out of date. Much of it is blurry, and looks like the bad photos an amateur included in his presentation 50 years ago because the other photos didn't come out. It really looks like lousy amateur photos from the mid-60s. The "exhibits" earlier today were 95% shots of the city and possibly a few celeb candid photos, but they were profoundly amateurish, with poor color and composition, and frequently blurry. There were a few '"art" photos, and there was one interesting one. The remainder were contrived as hell, and frankly the compositions and technique were mediocre, at best. A complete waste of time. Better to review photos available online of Edward Weston (the master, from whom Ansel Adams learned so much), especially his Point Lobos period, which is pure magic; or Rodney Lough, from Oregon, who may be our best living photographer (he shoots the same subjects sometimes as Art Wolfe or Peter Lik, and RL's stuff generally is significantly better). In sum, save your precious time and skip this ridiculous collection of amateurish, uninteresting photos. Sorry to be a buzzkill -- this place may be in a beautiful building, but the photos are junk.
