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 recognition as a museum.
