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! More

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. More
