Programme
The shipbuilders of La Seyne (1888 to 1987)
This exhibition celebrates the shipbuilders of La Seyne-sur-mer (1888 to 1987) through the eyes of Marius Bar and his successors, who photographed this long history of shipbuilding.
Just over 4,000 negatives in all formats make up this original theme; a selection of 65 photos (some never before published) are presented as part of this exhibition.
Marc Riboud, the eye of the traveler
Marc Riboud's extensive travels and long career are represented by over 150 prints. On loan from the Musée national des arts asiatiques Guimet, this selection highlights Asia, where he travelled from the 1950s onwards: Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, India, Japan, and also China, where the photographer captured the country's upheavals.
Gil Fréchet: the visual memory of Les Sablettes, between art and reminiscence
Artist and graphic designer Gil Fréchet's rich and varied career takes us into his intimate world at Les Sablettes, where each shot tells a story filled with feelings and memories.
