Exhibition: Visa for Asia - Louise Weiss, travel journal 1949-1958
Embark on a journey to Asia through the eyes of Louise Weiss, who believed that “journalists don't write history, they participate in it.”
Presented in the form of a travel journal, the exhibition retraces Louise Weiss's trips to Japan, Korea, and China between October and November 1949, followed by her return to China and Japan in 1958. These trips took place during a period marked by important political and historical events, which can be rediscovered through the unique collection of documents she left to the museum.
