[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] Pyréolophore: it’s the name of the first internal combustion engine in the world, invented by Nicéphore Niépce and his brother Claude. It will officially enter into Le Musée des Arts et Métiers on Thursday, September 27, 2018, at 7pm. The Niépce House and Spéos Photography school rectify the history of science, after many…
In July 2013, the Nicéphore Niépce House Museum — founded and exclusively financed by the Speos International Photography School since 1999 — was nominated “Maisons des illustres” by the French Ministry of Culture in the presence of high-ranked French government representatives. Thus, the place where the world’s first photo was taken has finally received national…
Initiated by the museum Maison Nicéphore Niépce, with the collaboration of Jean-Louis Bruley, Manuel Bonnet and the mairie de Saint-Loup-de-Varennes, the “Route de la Photo” — a series of photo spots — invites you to discover Burgundy following the footsteps of Nicéphore Niépce, the inventor of photography. To take a picture of the place linked…
[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text] On the occasion of Pentecost 2008 and 2009, the inhabitants of Saint-Loup-de-Varennes gathered, imitating the form of a camera (Niépce’s box). They had their photo taken individually by Niloufar Banisadr, and collectively by Pierre-Yves Mahé, from a helicopter.

The Photographic Studio and Lab of Fortuné Joseph Petiot-Groffier (1788-1855) This lab is the oldest existing we know of at present (thanks to the receipts, the chemicals can be dated back as far as 1840-41). From photography pioneers such as Niépce, Daguerre, Talbot or Bayard, no entire lab has been preserved, but individual ancient large…
In 1827, during Niépce’s stay in Paris, Daguerre shows him how he plans to capture the images taken by a camera obscura. Once the image is projected inside the camera, the luminal energy is absorbed by a layer of phosphorescent powder and reflected as a light emission. Unfortunately, the resulting phosphorescent image inside of the…
Adding an adjustable saddle and a guiding wheel, Nicéphore Niépce aimed at perfecting this new means of transportation, which – as its name indicates – allowed its users to walk very fast on foot. The Niépce House decided to build an exact copy of the existing original (exhibited in the Musée Niépce at Châlon). The…
