Located in a five-storey building in the Montparnasse district of Paris, the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation will house and make accessible an archive of the 94-year-old's artwork, and will stage exhibitions, together with a programme of events. "We have wanted to do this for quite some time," says his wife, the photographer Martine Franck. "We set up this institution to prevent the dispersal of Cartier-Bresson's work. However, it is not a museum or a mausoleum, we want it to be open to everybody; photographers, artists, architects and film makers.'
