Traveler reviews
Rolv Marius Faleide
★★★★★a year agoWe visited the photo museum for two hours and were quite blown away by the quality and content! Not sure what would meet us, camera or techniques or exhibitions of photos, this is definitely the latter one. There are currently three parts: the permanent exhibit, one on (famously) war photographer Lee Miller and at the top - an amazing live performance about the changes in Iran the last 50 years and its impact on a refugee family. Incorporating storytelling, the visual images, music, traditional instruments with modern looping and effects escalating into an unbearable tornado of emotions, it almost makes the visitor wish to escape as fast as possible. Highly recommend it!
