Power of the Institution

Tatyana Franck was inaugurated as director of the Musée de l’Elysée in 2015. She was just thirty, however, she was born into a family devoted to the arts; Henri Cartier-Bresson married Franck’s aunt. The Musée de l’Elysée’s extensive history of links to local practitioners, and donations by novice photographers has set the pace of the collection. The change of directorship has heralded a shift in direction that includes innovative 3D digitising techniques for conservation. Franck is keen to stamp a contemporary mark upon this historic museum.
