★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is more of a mix between a gallery and a museum.
On the museum side, there are some notable cameras to be seen, but, when I visited, the gallery was packed due to the world press expo and I could not ask for details regarding the cameras.
On the gallery side, is nice, but on the smaller side. Also, depends what is being shown, if that peeks your interest or not.
They also have a small place to eat and drink something and a few books that you can buy.
Overall, nice experience but depends on person.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went there twice already to see the "World Press Photo" exhibition, which is absolutely stunning. The gallery has the perfect size, is well lit and has a cute little cafe inside. I know that simply judging the gallery by one exhibition might not be very objective, but this particular exhibition is simply fascinating, illuminating, disturbing, upsetting, ... you see where I am going with this. Go there, see for yourself.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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! ?
