• Resumen

  • Between the 1890s and the Second World War, a multitude of projects for photography museums came to fight in Europe and more particularly in France. The aim of this article is to retrace the history of the families of photography museums and to explore the failure of these projects through the notion of utopia. Attempted typology of the forms of photography museums that sheds fight on the contemporary relation of photography to the museum, this article also wants to seize the major chronological and cultural turning points of this still little known history for the period 1890-1945. From the beginnings of this question set out before the First World War, follows a period of expansion between the two wars. This history comes to life around important figures, such as Léon Vidal (1833-1906), Alfred Liégard (1865-1934), Gabriel Cromer (1873-1934), Louis Chéronnet (1899-1950), as well as Laure Albin-Guillot (1879-1962).
