Eternal Paris explores how photographers in the 19th and early 20th centuries used the camera to celebrate and preserve the cultural heritage of Paris. Featuring nearly 50 photographs from the collection, the exhibition traces how photography captured the city's past and its transformation into a modern metropolis, including early pictures of famous monuments, ruins of the Paris Commune of 1871, Eugène Atget's chronicles of a city on the brink of modernity, and photographs celebrating Paris as a cultural capital. Together, these works reveal how photography crafted an enduring image of Paris in the collective consciousness.
