"While the work of photographers like Helmut Newton might hypothetically seem too stark and modern for this rambling and elegant 18th century mansion, it's a combination that totally works: Beyond an impressive permanent collection, this museum always lands the exhibitions everyone is talking about, whether it's Shirin Neshat, Henri Cartier-Bresson, or Sebastião Salgado. Keep in mind that they're closed on Mondays and Tuesdays."

Great photo museum with a lot of temporary exhibition, in fact this museum only have temporary exhibitions often coupled with presentations in the emphiteatre at the ground floor. There are always at least two differents exhibitions at the same time. Definitely worth a visit if you stay more then two weeks in Paris

I so enjoyed visiting here with my mum. The exhibitions are digestible, well designed and fascinating. The staff were very patient and helpful to us, and it's not too crowded, even on a weekend in July.

Always worth popping along to MEP. I had a few hours to spare in Paris on my way back to London so I took another trip to have a look at the latest exhibitions. If you're a photographer it should definitely be on your list if you're visiting Paris.

Great exhibitions on many floors all linked to one theme

The MEP in central Paris futures a rather small based exhibition, unexpected considering the enormous amount of (photo, film, and data) material reserved. The aftermath of the visit will be surprising as however the experience is great, and beyond expectations.

Defenitly a must go if you are interested in Photography. They have great exhibitions of various artists and there is always at least one you haven't heard of. They present the images in a very professional and original way and don't forget to buy one or two photography books in the library, the have a large selection of them.

A big deception. Been here before 10 years ago, then it was much more interesting. This August I went and left with an empty hole in my stomach... And pocket. Hope they catch up with more interesting things. Otherwise this place wont last much longer, i assume.
