From November 29, 2024, the Musée des Verts will open its doors to a unique exhibition of its kind: “ In Philippe's eye “. This retrospective pays tribute to Philippe Masseguin, official photographer of AS Saint-Étienne from 1999 to 2017, who died in 2019. Through his lens, he was able to capture nearly two decades of ASSE history, mixing popular fervor and moments of intimacy, which will be on display until August 31, 2025.
An immersion in the history of ASSE
Installed on 130 m², the exhibition offers a dive into the Saint-Etienne epic thanks to around sixty carefully selected photos. These photographs, some previously unpublished, illustrate moments engraved in the collective memory: the hundredth derby, the legendary ASSE-OM played in the snow, or even the moments of joy shared around the League Cup. More than just match memories, these photos tell the story behind the scenes of the club, the complicity between players and supporters, and the values that make ASSE great.
A journey between emotion and nostalgia
Philippe Masseguin had the art of capturing intimate and little-known scenes: suspended moments in the locker room, glances between teammates or moments of communion with the public. His work is much more than a visual testimony, it is a celebration of the city and its people who forged the green legend. The exhibition invites visitors to rediscover these strong moments from a new angle, driven by the sensitivity and talent of a man who knew the soul of the club better than anyone.
An opening with great fanfare
The opening of the exhibition will be held on November 29 at 7:30 p.m., at the Musée des Verts, in the presence of several emblematic former players. This evening promises to be a highlight for football and photography enthusiasts. For journalists, exclusive interviews with the family of Philippe Masseguin and the organizers will be possible.
Don't miss this vibrant tribute to a man whose photos will forever be engraved in the history of ASSE. Come to the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard to relive the green epic through the lens of Philippe Masseguin.
