Visuel de l'exposition Marc Riboud à Chengdu

"Glance Into Poetry. Retrospective exhibition of Marc Riboud’s photography", at the Chengdu Art Museum

After the Marc Riboud retrospective that just ended at the Hunan Museum (and that welcomed close to 50 000 visitors in 3 months), the Chinese audience can know admire the work of the great French photographer at the Chengdu Art Museum until March 30th 2025.

In a scenography designed specifically for the museum, the exhibition gathers 136 photographs in two spaces, one of them being dedicated to Chinese photographs taken between 1957 and 2002.

"The countries I love are like my friends", Marc Riboud once wrote, adding: "I like to see them again and understand their development and changes. Therefore, I often return to China. Everything here is developing faster than in other places. Even a careful person can see the eternity of things under this restless appearance."

The musée Guimet received in 2016 the exceptional Marc Riboud bequest, containing the entirety of his work made of more than 50,000 photographs.
