LES VIES DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE

By bringing together their three collections, these museums in Toulouse highlight three aspects of photography.

- Photography as a medium
Since its invention, photography has been defined as a medium of representation and expression. The visual vocabulary it establishes is illustrated by a selection of photographs.

- Photography as images: between art and documentation
It is regarded as an art form in its own right and is compared to painting, drawing or sculpture. By documenting fragments of the world, it enables the history of photography – from its invention to the present day – to be archived.

- Photography as told through the exhibitions and collection at the Château d’Eau
