The Treasures of NAPOLÉON Exhibition Dazzles Thousands
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 more than 200,000 visitors and universally praised. Look for the exhibition at the Missouri History Museum in Saint Louis next Fall with future dates to be announced soon.
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. For information contact Amy Noble Seitz, President, (651) 222-1121. Current EDG exhibitions.
