    Museo Camera in Gurgaon is a haven for photography enthusiasts. The museum's collection of vintage cameras and interactive exhibits provide a fascinating journey through the evolution of photography. The diverse displays of masterful photographs by renowned artists showcase the true power of visual storytelling. The staff's friendly and knowledgeable approach creates a welcoming atmosphere, adding to the overall experience. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or simply curious about the art, this museum is a must-visit. I left feeling inspired and with a newfound appreciation for the world of photography. You can also attend their event by just buying the tickets online.

    Amazing amazing amazing art gallery, so beautiful and so well maintained, what all should I mention, interiors, architecture, greenery, lighing, the collection of cameras, the selected works, quality of frames and everything is so perfect. There are young people working and the environment is so good. Went today to attend the Photography exhibition on world Photography day and this is the best experience ever in an art gallery. Beautiful. Kudos to Aditya Arya sir.

    Museo Camera is a must for all the photography freaks. Though small but very calm and serene a place to explore the art of photography by various people. You get some free postcards if available at your time of visit that one of the photographers have made and kept for being taken away with you. There are ticketed galleries for which you need to buy the entry ticket. I obviously didn't go to any of the ticketed galleries as I am least aware of the photography as an art. They also have a small yet cute cafe where you can dine in and relish the delicacies. Outside you can find some selfie/ picture spots with a vintage car model and an autorickshaw model kept for aesthetics.

    Hidden Gem in Gurgaon. If you are a photography lover or a museum enthusiast, this is must visit place for you. Here they have showcased evolution of photography over 200 years and what will come as a surprise to you is that the whole collection belongs to a single person. In addition they have gallery showcasing photographs and also have a cool cafe.

    A must visit for all the photography lovers. Right from the evolution the salt print technique to digital production, the whole transformation journey, time-lined pieces of history, vintage equipments, biography of photographers and rare photographs of influential people from all over the world are in this museum. Pay Rs.200/per person at the counter, and get mesmerised with three floors of magnificent collection. Don't forget to grab some grubs at the Fig (The quality of food is better than the Big Chill's) Visit around 5 PM, spend the evening, explore the museum which is open till 7 PM and the food outlet is open till 10 PM.

    An enriching experience hidden in the midst of the city. The ticket was 200 Rs. For the museum, there's a cafe inside where you can eat and a gift shop. It was an informative visit with all the rich history, the staff were really friendly. Photography is allowed inside.

    I got lucky that my clicked picture was displayed in an exhibition at Museo Camera. This place is fabulous if you have a passion for photography and art. Exquisite installations using old cameras, especially the camera chandelier. Each and every corner of its premises is decorated impressively. Only one part of the museum requires ticket. Otherwise, it's totally free to admire the artworks of different artists. Must visit place in Gurgaon.

    It's a museum, evolved out of personal collection of the director of the place. It tells the story of evolution of the camera from 1830s to modern days. There are three floors, the ground one has the main museum with collection of the cameras and first and second are exhibitions. There is a library and a print room. In library you can learn basics of photography and more. The reception is great, they took a photo of ours and printed it for us! The ticket price is ₹200/- per head as of now. There is cafe as well inside the place which you can visit separately but it's a bit costly.

    Large Collection of Historic Cameras available narrating the evolution and development of Cameras, especially, film cameras. Also the process of Printmaking is nicely narrated with even a provision of trying out darkroom activities through workshop. The museum houses two galleries for displaying photographers and artists work which often display some beautiful and rare work. Truly a must visit for lovers of photography and history buffs.

    Indeed a good museum of camera and photography. The brief history of camera, photography and the associated technological progress has been well documented. A lot of vintage cameras, rare photographs, lenses and associated accessories are there. The place is well maintained. Entry ticket costs 200/ person. Some free postcards are there to grab. A gift/ souvenir shop is there along with a cafe . Parking is available but very limited.

    An off beat place and a place for photographers to go to. The place is done very well, the esthetics are stunning and soul soothing. The pictures surely describe the pre independent Indian history, thanks to the man behind the lens who's conserved it so well. Absolutely polite staff. And the cafeteria is lovely and quaint which i don't mind going back to again

    Amazing place not only for camera and photography lovers but anyone in general. The place is very well maintained with great ambience and lighting exhibiting some really nice antiques. Good air quality comes as a bonus. The paintings and artwork at the second and third levels are breathtaking. There is also a grand cafeteria.Some postcards of rare photographs are offered complimentary. Must visit for all at least once!!

    Ticket of Rs 200 was well worth it. They even gave a framed photo for free. The collection of cameras and allied photography items was awesome. Got to see some really old cameras. The highpoint is the small cafe at the back. The pizza was simply awesome.

    A delight each time I visit. Great museum, photo gallery and the vibe of the place. Artsy crowd at the in-house cafe which boasts of a selection of delectable food. It has put some much needed art and ‘drama’ on Gurgaon’s map at last ;)

    What a neighborhood gem! Great space showcasing the history of cameras and photography. One can tell there was a lotvof live and passion involved in bringing this concept to fruition. There is a lovely cafe here as well. And it appears to be quite popular. One doesn't have to purchase a ticket to the museum to access the cafe. We had their signature pesto/ asparagus pizza and the smoked salmon/ avocado salad for lunch. Carried out a croissant and a slice of dark chocolate cake. Both were great! We had to sit outdoors on a very hot day, as the inside seating fills up fast. But it was fairly comfortable with fans and misters all around. The cafe is open for all three meals, starting at 8 am. Highly recommend spendind a couple of hours at this beautiful museum and having a meal at the cafe!

    It is AWESOME! The staff is extremely respectful and gentle. The interior is hyper professional! Don't go on its location, the museum is fantastic. Every little information regarding cameras can be found here! Besides, you can click end number of photographs and save them as ur memories of this awesome place. They also organise workshops teaching mobile photography. This place taught me that every piece in a camera has its own purpose. This museum is a must visit for any person!!

    An ideal place to visit for Photography lovers. The art of photography has been explained with real cameras and it's components, from Photography inception i.e. Pin hole Cameras till date onset of modern cameras. There are photo exhibitions being organized periodically. Overall an excellent experience. Recommended for one and all.

  • 5/5 suvinee v. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place! The museum is amazing! Such detailed display of all sorts of antique cameras and their pictures! Best part was the display of their photography workshop for underprivileged children on the first floor. What wonderful perspectives! I went just to have a nice brunch, but came back refreshed seeing such lovely work! As for the food, it was delicious! Portions are good sized. We had to wait for almost 30mins to get a seat in the afternoon. Pre-booking not available. Best time to visit (to avoid the rush) is mornings for good heavy breakfast.

    Experience a cafe & Camera museum together. Take a tour to know the camera history and click beautiful pictures. Then visit the cafe and enjoy your favorite food. I like the coffee most and the ambience. Staff was also very friendly.

  • 5/5 PRASHANT C. 1 year ago on Google
    A one of a kind museum in Gurugram conceptualized by a pioneering passionate photographer Aditya Arya and team. I was overwhelmed by the organized display of his comprehensive vintage collection of cameras and brands over time. A must visit for any photography enthusiast and student.

  • 4/5 Tanya A. 4 months ago on Google
    The place is really a nice and cozy place. We went there for Anirudh Verma's show and the place was very welcoming. We dined at Fig at Museo there, and the food was good except the hot cholocate that we ordered. Maybe because it's just not my taste.

  • 4/5 Trin A. 6 months ago on Google
    My friends spoiled me for a treat on a Monday, when the museum is closed. I had the chocolate and banana pancakes (I highly recommend it if you like sweet stuff, and if you don't have a big appetite, then I recommend sharing it with someone 'cause it's a lot) with a soy milk cappuccino. Delicious! Would love to check out the museum. The vibe is pretty cool. I really enjoyed the playlist - I heard music from artists I really like, such as Tori Amos and Guns N Roses.

  • 5/5 Anushrav D. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place to visit. You will see so many Camera and history of all these things. Growing history of camera. 600Kg camera to very small camera. You will get a hard copy photo of you. One time visit is mandatory if a person is using camera and loving it.

  • 5/5 Patrick D. 11 months ago on Google
    Great little museum detailing the history of cameras and photography. The museum is housed in a lovely contemporary building that also includes some photography / painting exhibitions and a very nice cafe. Museum itself probably takes ~1 hour to walk through, cost of entry R200 so well worth it. Enjoy a coffee and snack afterwards at Fig cafe, a treat!

  • 5/5 Neelam M. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing museum & gallery of cameras and photographic art. A Must See !

  • 3/5 DEVENDRA PRATAP S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place to experience the journey of camera and photography. But, Cafe is a bit let down. Very ordinary coffee. Cappuccino tastes like South Indian Filter coffee. Even the cups in which it was served was not appropriate. Avoid coffee at this place. Instead have some other drink. Cookies were good though

  • 5/5 Bobby L. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing walk down history of cameras. Housed in an architecturally beautiful structure this place hosts a permanent gallery and has a rotating exhibition of reputed lensmen. Tucked away near Galleria Market this is a hidden gem. They also have a delightful cafe with delicious dishes.

  • 5/5 Nitin J. 2 years ago on Google
    A great place to wind down and enjoy the food and beverages. We ordered coffee, juices and tacos and they were good in all aspects. The ambience is nice especially outdoors (a lot of plants!) on the back side of the restaurant. The location is a bit confusing though to find but once you get there, it is worth the effort.

  • 5/5 Ikita P. 2 years ago on Google
    Had some really nice brunch here on a winter morning. Quiet and quaint atmosphere, really green. Quantity and quality are both good. The photography gallery is worth looking at, there are some interesting concepts and themes they've put up.
