Regarding our visit to Port Louis’ photographic museum on a day when we returned to Port Louis and found that the floods had closed the town’s Natural History Museum so no chance of seeing any Dodo exhibits But we met Madame Breville, who curates her recently deceased husband’s amazing Photographic Museum, and enjoyed visiting the market and Chinatown.
Regarding the photographic museum.Sandra comments:
“A most welcoming lady with a genuine enthusiasm for photography and her, sadly recently deceased, husband’ s (Tristan Breville) creation of this amazing museum packed with cameras of all types, lenses, light meters, coloured filters. Huge film projectors, film cameras, printing presses to but the top exhibit is the daguerreotype collection on copper for wealthy people, on tin for less wealthy people. It seems these were the first in Mauritius 1836 circa!”
