Based(Established) in 1974 in Chalon-sur-Saône, born city of the inventor of the photography, the Nicéphore Niépce museum established(constituted) there about thirty-five years of existence, one of the most original photographic collections in Europe. First heliographies of Nicéphore Niépce in digital technologies, this collection of more than three million images tells the numerous stories of the photography in its aesthetic and documentary adventure, but also in its commercial and popular uses(practices). The museum gives itself for mission to establish a report(relationship) between the inventors, the pioneers and the creators of today and turns(shoots) its reflexion to the analysis of image in a more total acceptance: his(her,its) applications, his(her,its) effects, his(her,its) codes. Interactive devices(plans) and pedagogic movies aim at replacing the public in the centre of speech. The spectator manipulates virtually devices, dishwashing at the heart of experiences(experiments) of Nicéphore Niépce, is in the different professional, commercial, intimate universes of photographic practices. The museographic rooms(parts,plays) using the new technologies of image and web site favour the access of all to the activities of the museum. Educational projects, conferences, national or international internships(training courses) register the museum in its formative role. Place of visit, of preservation and of exhibition(exposure), the Nicéphore Niépce museum is also, thanks to its photography laboratory, a production site of contemporary images and of artistic creation recognised. It knows how to conjugate the respect for preservation to the precise study of the kept(preserved) bottoms and to the renewed presentation(display) by its collections (more than 80 000 photographies or objects digitally converted of collections, rich database of about 300 000 references).
