Prix Elysée 4th edition

Call for applications

The Prix Elysée is back in 2020 for its fourth edition! The call for applications is open until March 9, 2020. The Prix Elysée is an international prize for supporting photographic production that encourages mid-career photographers or artists to develop a new project on the subject of their choice. The Prix Elysée is made possible thanks to the support of its main partner, Parmigiani Fleurier, the museum's exclusive watchmaking partner.

Art For All

Photographs to Touch

Convinced that access to art is a fundamental right, the Musée de l’Élysée has created an innovative project aimed at making photography accessible to blind audiences. Around thirty important works from the Museum’s collections have been transcribed into tactile images and posted online, making them accessible to blind audiences worldwide.

Viewing and images request
