The Musée national des arts asiatiques - Guimet conceals photographic treasures: ethnographic photographs, mainly from the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries, but also photographs by prestigious contemporary photographers such as Marc Riboud, Christophe Milovanoff, Michael Kenna...
A selection of 200 photographs from these collections is presented in a portfolio organized according to three major regions - the Indianized world, Southeast Asia and the Far East - allowing the discovery of fascinating, often moving worlds, through multiple subjects: architectural sites, landscapes, life scenes, portraits... This portfolio is completed by an interview on the history of the constitution of these collections and biographical notes of the photographers.
An invitation to a wonderful visual journey in Asia, from Afghanistan to Japan.
