Photography Museum
The next place in the journey to discover Mauritius, if you are a photography lover, you definitely cannot ignore the Photographic museum when visiting Mauritius. The Photographic Museum was created by Marie-Noelle and Tristan Bréville in 1966. By doing such an amazing job, the Museum goes beyond the conservation and preservation mission. It is responsible for the creation and preservation of a nation's memories!
The first local newspaper's press machine and script (1773), a unique photograph (1857) of Indian laborers landing at Aapravasi Ghat, and a photo frame of the first airplane landing at Mon Choisy beach from Reunion Island in 1933 not only captured the emotions of these great moments but also hint at Marie Noelle and Tristan's unwavering passion to preserve Mauritius' photographic heritage. The Museum was even dubbed "one of the largest preservation projects of the twentieth century" by the worldwide press.
