A museum dedicated to photography, exploring technological developments from the first camera to the smartphone.
As Chalon-sur-Saône is the birthplace of Nicéphore Niépce, the inventor of photography, it's only natural that he should be honored here. The museum that bears his name is a must-see. Housed since 1972 in the former Hôtel des Messageries royales, it preserves treasures that are unique in the world. Here, you can step back in time to admire works of all kinds and discover technological developments, from the first camera to today's smartphone. The museum also showcases contemporary photography through a number of temporary exhibitions.
