The Mundaneum tour in images!

The Mundaneum tour in images !

While it defines a concept of a new genre in the early 20th century, the concept of documentation, Paul Otlet explores new media knowledge and is particularly interested in the image as a historical resource. Posters, postcards and photographs are collected by thousands and classified by theme within the International Institute of Photography that he created under the direction of Mundaneum. Getting its fame during the Photography Congress in Marseille in 1906, the International Institute of Photography and its descriptive methods serve as models in many international institutions. At a time when the image is ubiquitous and plays an essential role in our lives, we invite you to the Mundaneum tour in images: Exploring different collections that the father of the idea of ​​the Internet has bequeathed to us! Do you  want to host a member of the Mundaneum team for a mini-conference and animation?
