Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson

Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson Review

Photography has deep roots in Montparnasse, as great experimenters like Louis Daguerre and Man Ray lived and worked here. In keeping with this spirit of innovation, Henri Cartier-Bresson, legendary photographer and creator of the Magnum photo agency, opened this foundation supporting contemporary photography in 2003. The restored 1913 artists' atelier holds three temporary exhibitions each year. Be sure to go to the top floor to see a small gallery of Cartier-Bresson's own work.
