Albert-Kahn Museum and Garden

"Albert Kahn (1860-1940) was a French banker and philanthropist known for his efforts in promoting peace and understanding through visual documentation and cultural exchange. He is most famous for his ambitious project, "The Archives of the Planet," which aimed to create a photographic record of human cultures around the world. Kahn funded photographers to travel globally, resulting in a vast collection of early color photographs and films, providing invaluable historical insights. Albert Kahn's gardens, located in Boulogne-Billancourt near Paris, reflect his vision of global harmony. The gardens span nearly four hectares and feature a diverse array of themed landscapes, including a Japanese garden, an English garden, a French formal garden, and more. Each area showcases different gardening traditions and styles, symbolizing the beauty of cultural diversity. Today, the Albert Kahn Museum and Gardens serve as a serene and educational space, attracting visitors with its stunning landscapes and historical exhibits."
