Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson

In the Marais, this foundation is dedicated to photography and to preserving the legacy of Henri Cartier-Bresson, a founder of modern photojournalism, and his wife Martine Franck. Relocated to a renovated Marais building, it exhibits his work alongside changing shows of other photographers and awards a prize to emerging talent. Its galleries, archive and library serve as a reference centre for the medium. The intimate scale and rigorous programming have made it a respected venue for photography in a district already rich in art institutions.
