During more than 30 years, English photographer Michael Kenna immortalized Paris’ bridges, quays and monuments in his black and white pictures. Empty of all human presence, these Parisian places are magnified by the contrast between shadow and light, and thus endowed with a timeless character. The musée Carnavalet has purchased many of the artist’s works from the Michèle Chomette gallery since 1989, hence this exhibition dedicated to the photograph.

“Michael Kenna – Paris” exhibition, from October 28^th 2014 to February 1^st 2015.
Open Tuesday-Sunday from 10am to 6pm.
Closed on Monday and on bank holidays.
Free entrance.
