The Legion of Honor in San Francisco opened Eternal Paris on September 5, 2026, gathering nearly 50 photographs documenting the city in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The exhibition follows the French capital from Haussmann's boulevards through the age of early modernity. Drawn from photographic holdings, it shows how the camera shaped the image of the City of Light. The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco program the exhibition as part of a season rich in photography. It remains on view into the fall.
