Musée Albert-Kahn, Museum and garden complex in Boulogne-Billancourt, France.
The Musée Albert-Kahn is a museum and gardens complex in Boulogne-Billancourt housing a major collection of early 20th-century photographs and films. The renovated site includes exhibition spaces, a library, and multiple historic buildings that contribute to the visitor experience.
The gardens were established starting in 1895 as a private creation by Albert Kahn, who commissioned replicas of various European landscapes. The photographic and film collection was built between 1909 and 1931, documenting the diverse world during that era.
The museum bears the name of Albert Kahn, a banker and philanthropist who devoted his wealth to documenting the world and its people. His collection reflects a belief that understanding different cultures could advance peace and human connection.
Visitors can explore the exhibitions and gardens on foot, moving freely between indoor and outdoor areas. Comfortable shoes are recommended, and it is wise to allow time for both sections depending on the season.
Inside the complex are specialized storage rooms that reveal how color photographs were originally preserved. These distinctive spaces offer insight into archival techniques developed long before modern conservation methods.
