Confinement, “reinforced braking measures”, limitation of international travel or closure of cultural centers are all reasons that keep us away from museums and galleries. However, thanks to the magic of the internet, culture remains accessible!
We have selected 5 free photo exhibitions so as not to be cut off from Photography. They are accessible thanks to the excellent site of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), available in french and in english.
