Albert-Kahn Museum and Garden

The Albert-Kahn Museum and Garden in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, offers a unique journey through different cultural landscapes. The museum, dedicated to the works of banker and philanthropist Albert Kahn, showcases his endeavors to document the early 20th-century global cultures through the "Archives of the Planet," a vast collection of early color photographs. However, it's the gardens that truly captivate photo-travelers. Spread over nearly four hectares, the gardens are divided into several sections, each meticulously designed to represent different world gardens - Japanese, English, French, and a scene reminiscent of the Vosges Forest. The Japanese garden, in particular, is a highlight with its tranquil water features, elegant bridges, and cherry blossoms in spring, providing a serene and picturesque backdrop for photography enthusiasts. The changing seasons offer varied photographic opportunities, from the lush greenery of summer to the vibrant colors of autumn.
