The name of the museum is a bit misleading, as it isn’t a museum of photographs on the wall. Instead, it has several screening rooms that tell different aspects of Madagascar life and history in short (about 6 minute) films. These films use photographs to tell the story. The short films are very well done, and very informative. I wish it did have old photographs on display, or even new ones, to show Madagascar as seen through the lens of others. Very informative visit. Didn’t eat at the restaurant, but the food looked good, and it was very busy.
