Journées du patrimoine 2026 : au fonds patrimonial Heure Joyeuse

Médiathèque Françoise Sagan

While the doors of the heritage collection are open all year round to researchers, curious visitors and children alike, this year, on the occasion of the journées du patrimoine, come and discover a few gems from our collection of children's photobooks, as part of the bicentenary of photography. The Heure Joyeuse heritage collection preserves a collection of 3,000 photo-illustrated children's books. Exhibited in 2012 at the galerie des bibliothèques, it will once again be showcased in 2027 at the médiathèque Françoise Sagan, in an exhibition devoted to photographic picture books. Over the course of a weekend, two selections can be discovered continuously, Saturday and Sunday: - at the hôtel de Ville de Paris, in the salon Laurens, alongside other heritage and specialized libraries. The selection made focuses on the notion of framing, with an international panorama. It bears witness to the vitality of the use of the photographic medium as a means of educating the eye on the world, whether through the recognition of shapes or blur, in the work of renowned photographers such as Sarah Moon, Bogdan Konopka or Gérard Rondeau (Agence Vu'). - at the médiathèque Françoise Sagan, on Saturday and Sunday from 1pm to 6pm, librarians will continuously present other gems drawn from the collection of children's photobooks, in current editions, older editions, or artist's books.
