Maison Europeenne
The Maison Europeenne de la Photographie, situated in the historic heart of Paris, is a major centre for contemporary photographic art. A completely new kind of cultural establishment, it houses from February 1996 an exhibition centre, a large library, a video viewing facility with a wide selection of films by or about, and an auditorium. It is designed to make the three fundamental photographic media-exhibition prints, the printed page, and film – easily accessible to all.
The Hotel Henault de Cantobre which houses the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, situated at n. 82, Rue Francois Miron, was built in 1706. It has belonged to the City of Paris since 1914. The city authorities asked the Yves Lion firm of architects to undertake the restoration of the original building, as well as the addition of a new wing on the Rue de Fourcy. The façade overlooking the street, the period ironwork and the central staircase are all fine examples of classical architecture. (Text Source: Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia)
