Exhibition: Le château des photographes
From September 19, 2026 to September 20, 2026, at Musée de Normandie : Exhibition: Le château des photographes (photo).
In 2026, the exhibition at Musée de Normandie will link the recent history of the castle with the photographers' view of its transformation, from a military building to a historic monument, now a place of culture and heritage. The Château de Caen, an enclave in the heart of the city, forms a special element in both urban planning and iconography. Long ignored by photography, as military buildings were in the 19th century, it becomes the subject of attention at the end of the Second World War, as the work begins to transform it into a historic, museum, and tourist site. The exhibition is designed as a photo album of the castle, from the first known photograph in 1861 to the present day.
