A short post for those photo addicts. This is the place for you.
Noticed that quite a number of my friends have been visiting the camera museum. So i decided to see what all the buzz is about. Did not regret it at all but the place is still partially under renovation - the first floor and art galleries are open for visitors but the second floor is still closed and under renovation.
What can you find here? A gallery of stunning art/photographs along with old vintage cameras.
The museum is separated into 4 sections - First two sections (art gallery and old vintage camera prototype displays) , third section (souvenir/gift shop) and the last section (the museum cafe).
Took some shots of the museum. Enjoy!

A typical old vintage camera. Placed at the entrance to welcome visitors.
Mega huge camera! Right at the centre of the museum.
Don't think you will be able to miss this one.

Different themes/types of photographs and art all around the museum. Do you call them themes?
I'm no expert. I shall just leave it as that.
A prototype of an old camera.
First section of the museum. Beautiful lightings and art arrangements.
Theres always something so mysterious about empty corners with dim lights.
Posing for my best shot.
Second section of the museum.
More photos and art.
Third section of the museum. Heading to the gift shop.
Packed with tourists!
The Gift Shop.
Cameras, cameras and cameras.
Don't think i found an item here without symbolizing cameras.
Super cool and unique though. Love it.
Last section of the museum.
Food! A cafe with wooden setting filled with artistic photographs.
Unique camera image stains on wooden chairs and tables in the museum cafe.
Love:
-Simple and artistic interior design in the museum.
-Awesome and stunning photographs/art.
Not so much:
-Could have more photographs/arts and old vintage camera displays.
Still new probably? Waiting for their second floor to be completed. Hopefully more to come!
Revisit:
Most probably - when the second floor has completed.
