Photography history exhibitions and commemorations

Overview

Major photography exhibitions and cultural initiatives have been organized to highlight photographic history, with a focus on French artists and the medium’s evolution.

Initial exhibitions in Rome and Stockholm showcased the work of French photographers, including a Robert Doisneau retrospective at the Museo del Genio and a Brassaï exhibition at the Moderna Museet focusing on 1930s Parisian life.

Subsequent developments include a large-scale retrospective of Robert Doisneau in Lyon, featuring nearly 400 photographs. Additionally, the French Ministry of Culture has launched a national program to commemorate the bicentenary of photography, marking 200 years since Nicéphore Niépce’s first permanent image in 1827. This program includes over 1,000 projects and a planned exhibition at the Bibliothèque nationale de France for 2027.
