“Turning A Glance into Poetry”, retrospective exhibition at the Chengdu Art Museum, China
On December 10th, the retrospective exhibition of Marc Riboud at the Hunan Museum closed its doors. It was a real success, with almost 50,000 visitors in 3 months! And it’s not over yet for the Chinese public, as Marc Riboud’s photographs are now on show at the Chengdu Art Museum, in a redesigned exhibition space.
This exhibition is part of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between France and China. We would like to thank the French Institute in China for its support.
“The countries I love are like friends,” Marc Riboud once wrote, adding: “I like to see them again, to know what they are becoming, how they are changing. So I often go back to China, where everything changes more quickly than elsewhere, even if the attentive eye can see the permanence of things beneath this turbulent surface”.
Where? Chengdu Art Museum, N°388 Jinniuba Road, Jinniu District, Chengdu

“West Meets East”, retrospective exhibition at the Hunan Museum, Changsha, China
The Association Les amis de Marc Riboud is delighted to announce the opening of a major retrospective exhibition in China featuring 148 photographs by Marc Riboud on loan from the Guimet Museum. Bringing together all these journeys, from Paris to the Far East and around the world, the exhibition gives pride of place to China.
China has been Marc Riboud’s greatest passion. As soon as he became a photographer, he tried to obtain a visa for this country that he had always dreamed of. Finally, in 1957, he was to be immersed for the first time in the faces and landscapes of China’s countryside and big cities. There he walked for days and days, in silence. To see and observe, because for him, the only way to understand this people, who seemed so far from us, was to look at them.
In the course of his many journeys, a deep, silent bond developed with those he was looking at. This silent communication with the Chinese people was Marc Riboud’s greatest joy. He loved exhibiting in China and would have been delighted with this retrospective in Changsha and Chengdu, which shows once again that the Chinese are still sensitive to this respectful, sympathetic gaze, which seeks to understand, to discover the beauty of form in the disorder of reality, to patiently follow the evolution of a people over more than fifty years.
This exhibition is part of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between France and China. We would like to thank the French Institute of China for its support.
Where? Hunan Museum, N°50 Dongfeng Road, Kaifu District, Changsha

Retrospective “Marc Riboud, Histoire possibles” at the National Asian Arts Museum – Guimet
The exhibition dedicated to Marc Riboud celebrates the legacy of his archive to the national collections, more precisely to Guimet Museum which he loved so much.
A photographer more than a reporter, Marc Riboud left thousands of photographs (negatives, color slides, prints), many of them taken in Asia. Who, among us, cannot help but identify to this or that photograph, always familiar, and get the feeling to flip, through this album of the world, into his own family album?
From the immediate after-war to the timeless Huang Shan Chinese mountains, this exhibitions invites to a journey of more than 50 years on every continent’s roads, with a favoured focus on Asia.
Musée national des arts asiatiques – Guimet
6 place d’Iéna, 75116 Paris
Open every day except Tuesday, from 10am to 6pm
