Children’s Photobooks
19.09.2025 – 01.02.2026

This exhibition looks at the place of photographic images in publishing for young people. The project takes visitors on an unprecedented journey through the children's photobook, from its rise in the 1930s with the development of new teaching methods that used photography as a universal language rather than text, right up to the present day. Celebrating children's books, the exhibition will offer families various playful and educational activities. Co-produced by the Institut pour la photographie de Lille and Photo Elysée, the exhibition will be showcased in six European venues following its debut in Lausanne.

Partners

The exhibition is supported by the Fondation Coromandel, the Fondation Bru, and the Federal Office of Culture.
