“Between Lithuania and France. The Two Worlds of Count Tiškevičius in 19th Century Photography” exhibition opened in France

On November 22, at the Musée Nicéphore Niépce in Chalon-sur-Saône, France, the exhibition "Between Lithuania and France: Two Worlds of Count Tiškevičius in 19th Century Photography" was opened as part of the Saison de la Lituanie en France 2024 program. The exhibition will run until January 19, 2025.

At the opening event, which was attended not only by a large French audience but also by guests from Poland, Spain, and other countries, the unifying power of Count Tiškevičius's work and personality was repeatedly highlighted. It is remarkable how this creator, recognized by Lithuanians, French, Poles, and Belarusians, has brought together such a diverse international community of museum professionals, researchers, collectors, cultural organizers, and photography enthusiasts.

This is another comprehensive presentation of B. H. Tiškevičius's work, made possible by like-minded individuals and partners—the Šiauliai "Aušros" Museum, the Kaunas District Museum, and the Musée Nicéphore Niépce, along with curators Audrey Lebeault, Emmanuelle Vieillard, and Dr. Dainius Junevičius.
