Enormous collection of very interesting cameras. Exhibition isn't for everyone but some great photos from around the world.

I was here for World Press Photos, and another photo exhibition last year about fake news (albeit no photos). It’s a cute photo gallery, and even without these exhibitions you can see some old cameras and learn about the history of photography. The staff are super friendly, helpful, and down to earth. You can even have a cup of coffee here! This is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon. It’s also open at night, which is awesome because you can even enjoy an exhibition after work! Would recommend you to visit World Press Photo every year around September-November! 😊

An institution for years! Directly behind the Leica shop in the centre of Vienna's historic photo shopping district, there is an impressive permanent exhibition of valuable, rare, historic cameras and changing high-ranking photo exhibitions. A small café and library round off the experience. An absolute recommendation!

They had a comprehensive exhibition of Marry Ellen Mark when I visited and they did a great job at curating it. I appreciate them also having her book there to look through as well, it really adds up to the entire experience of learning about Ellen's work. The space blends the old building with the new space design inside and modern, colorful mural at the entrance. Love the old cameras being on display too. One of my favourite places in Vienna, I'd come back here anytime.

Awesome photo gallery with unique exhibitions as for the history of cameras and for the Inside views of China. The interior was really inspiring and comfortable. There even was a small café inside with a very clever and helpful english-and of course german-speaking waitress. The price wasn't high as we paid around 20€ for both of us. In the next trip to Vienna, I'm sure to visit!

I was there for the Vivian Maier exhibition. Great photographer. Greatly inspired! There were photograph books showed case for anyone to freely look at too. And cameras of various significance in the history of photography are on permanent exhibition too. You can get 2 EUR off if you have a Club Wien card (card is free).

A great photography gallery in the 7th district. I loved their World Press Photo 13 exhibit and their expansive collection of old cameras is really amazing! You can pay admission to just this gallery or get a discounted combo ticket that gives you admission to this gallery and their sister gallery across town (Ostlicht). They also have a coffee bar in case you want to take a drink break while viewing the photos.
