Swiss Camera Museum – Vevey
I discovered at the weekend that there is a camera museum at Vevey.
It contains exhibits like the first ever production Leica, see above.
The museum is set on Lake Geneva, not far from Chateau Chillon and covers photography from it’s beginnings just over a century ago, right up to today. It covers techniques as well as equipment, with features on the inventors of milestone equipment.
The permanent exhibition features magic lanterns, camera obscura etc, in a 500 square metre setting. And photographers past and present are featured in regularly changing special exhibitions.
For youngsters, there are many games and hands-on installations.
Closed Mondays
