“Interesting small museum”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

Interesting, well laid out museum of photography. Unfortunately does not cover much on the pioneers of photographic technique such as George Washington Wilson, but otherwise good.

“Must visit for Photography enthusiasts!”

people found this review helpful

Tucked away in Vevey, the Swiss Camera Museum is a must visit for people who love photography! Chronicling the history of cameras & photography through the years, this museum spread across four levels even has a small gift shop selling Leica-endorsed products & postcards at the entry. It was a pleasure seeing old Leicas, Nikons & Hasselblads!

“Fantastic Museum for Camera Enthusiasts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

Amazing museum. They had cameras from the beginning. The audio guides came in many languages and were very helpful in explaining all the different cameras. I had no idea there were that many cameras. It truly is a camera heaven! Highly recommended.
