What Is Toytography Exhibit & Camera Store?
Toytography Exhibit & Camera Store is a destination gallery and specialty camera shop designed for photographers, collectors, and creatives. Located in Big Bear, California, the space blends:
-
A cinematic collectibles exhibit featuring high-end figures used in professional toy photography
-
A full-service camera store with gear sales, rentals, and services
-
Workshops, photo walks, and special events for all skill levels
This is not a traditional museum or camera shop—it’s a hands-on creative experience.
Why Big Bear?
Big Bear is a year-round mountain destination for Southern California travelers, photographers, and families. Toytography Exhibit & Camera Store adds something Big Bear doesn’t currently have:
-
A modern indoor creative attraction
-
A specialty camera rental and retail hub
-
A gallery experience designed for photos, learning, and repeat visits
