Count Benedykt Henryk Tyszkiewicz, a pioneer of photography in Lithuania and listed as a member of the Société Française de Photographie (1884) and the Photo-Club de Paris (1898), frequented and accompanied the French pictorialist movement around 1900. His long-ignored photographic collection is gradually resurfacing. An exhibition dedicated to him will be held at the Musée Nicéphore Niépce in Chalon-sur-Saône at the end of 2024, as part of the Lithuanian Season in France.
