The Universal Exhibition of 1867, bringing together no fewer than 52,000 exhibitors from around the world, was the first to benefit from an immense photographic output. Photography, as a medium, is also presented there, both in its artistic and industrial dimensions. Relive the event through exceptional archival documents and a new immersive installation: this is the subject of the exhibition presented at the Archives nationales as part of the bicentenary of photography.
