NAPOLÉON Marches West to the MUZEO in Anaheim
The spectacular traveling exhibition, Treasures of NAPOLEON, tells the fascinating story of Napoléon and showcases the world-class art and design of his time. It has already been seen by nearly 200,000 visitors and universally praised. The exhibition opens at the MUZEO in Anaheim, California, October 11, 2009 and will run through January 8, 2010.
Created from the extraordinary collection of 1st Empire authority and author, Pierre-Jean Chalençon, the exhibit showcases rare, personal belongings of Napoléon I, as well as some of the most famous depictions of him by the greatest artists of the time. While elements of the exhibition have been loaned for major exhibitions around the world, this is the first time these irreplaceable artifacts are being seen in North America.
Treasures of NAPOLEON offers visitors an opportunity to see beyond the “legend” of Napoléon Bonaparte to gain an understanding of this complex figure as a man. User-friendly interpretive text and more than 250 objects, framed paintings, prints and documents, as well as furniture from the Imperial palaces, shine a light on the extraordinary life of one of history's pivotal figures.
We are proud to announce our association with the Exhibits Development Group (EDG), who will be representing the exhibition as we assemble future exhibition dates in North America and around the world. The Exhibits Development Group has offices in Saint Paul, Minnesota and Washington, DC, and provides their clients professional development, placement, distribution and management of temporary and permanent exhibition.
