Centre de la photographie de Mougins

Located in the heart of the village, in a renovated former presbytery, the Mougins Photography Centre aims to highlight the many trends in contemporary photography.

With a regional, national and international remit, it is dedicated to still and moving images. On its two floors of some 100 m2 each, it hosts works by emerging and established artists from around the world.

It doesn’t have a permanent collection, but it does have a rich programme, with three major exhibitions each year, as well as a range of events and activities linked to current themes.

Artistic director: François Cheval, who has been a museum curator since 1982. From 1996 to 2016, he directed the Nicéphore-Niepce Museum in Chalon-sur-Saône. He is co-director of the Lianzhou Museum of Photography in China and continues to work as an art director and curator, challenging the certainties of the medium and of the photography community, while creating moments of discovery, questioning and, perhaps, pleasure.
