Photography was invented nearly two centuries ago. To mark this occasion, the French Ministry of Culture is planning a large, community-wide celebration of the Bicentennial of Photography, showcasing photography in all its forms throughout France from September 2026 to September 2027. All those involved in photography, the arts and culture are invited to join the celebrations by organizing events, exhibitions, meet-ups, hands-on projects, talks, publications and educational workshops to make it a major cultural event.
