"You don't take a photograph, you make it."
This quote by Ansel Adams implicitly explains why you have to take an appointment before coming to this extraordinary place. The creator and curator of the Vintage Analogue Camera museum, Aditya Arya, like to show the master pieces himself. These days we can find numerous amateur photographers, all thanks to the advanced camera of the smart phones. With social networking sites around, a little bit of editing earns you the tag of an ace photographer. However, if people get to know the mechanics behind the scene, they will appreciate and enjoy the art more. One needs to have a peaceful mind to savor the beauty of this craft.

The museum houses around 400 vintage cameras belonging to the 1880's. Apart from cameras, it also has many of the rare photographs and photographic equipments. One can see historic photographs of nationalist leaders and the freedom fighters.
