Great Photography at the Civic Museums
From October 24, 2026 to April 4, 2027, the Civic Museums of Bassano del Grappa host the exhibition “Sebastião Salgado. Collection of the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris”, an internationally significant event that brings to the city one of the greatest masters of contemporary photography.
Over 160 Photographs from the Maison Européenne de la Photographie
The exhibition features over 160 photographs from the prestigious collection of the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP) in Paris, a leading institution within the European photography landscape.
Curated by Pascal Hoël, Head of Collections at the MEP, the exhibition provides a broad and in-depth perspective on Salgado’s work, shaping a powerful and immersive visual journey.
The images tell the story of decades of journeys, encounters, and global transformations, expressed through a distinctive style marked by striking contrasts, powerful compositions, and a deep respect for human dignity. The result is an experience that goes beyond photography, becoming narrative, memory, and reflection.

After exploring the Civic Museums, the historic center, the Ponte Vecchio, and the town’s charming squares complete an ideal cultural itinerary for a day trip or a weekend getaway.
