Agence France-Presse (AFP) opened its first gallery dedicated to photography on September 12, with a unique exhibition dedicated to the liberation of Paris, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year.
The Galerie AFP, located within the famous press agency, at 9 place de la Bourse, will present free exhibitions three times a year, with the aim of offering the public museum-quality events.
With Paris 1944, une semaine en août, the AFP offers a dialogue between the photographs of the Agency’s professionals, taken from its exceptional archive, and amateur images taken by Parisians during the liberation of the capital, from the Fournier-Eymard collection.
