Patrimoines en perspective | Centre des monuments nationaux

Introduction

This collection, comprising coffee-table books that also serve as reference works, aims to make in-depth knowledge of heritage accessible to a wide audience. Its key strengths include: updates on the latest discoveries; high-quality illustrations and photographs; an effective, well-structured layout; a cross-cutting and multidisciplinary approach, spanning the humanities to urban planning and photography, from archaeology to art history, and from architecture to landscape… Approaching the subject through history, documents and archives as much as through the visual impact of photography, it is aimed at anyone with a curious mind who appreciates the significance and living presence of a diverse cultural heritage.
