It boasts a vast collection of over 35,000 pieces of art ranging from ancient Greece, Egypt, and Rome, through the Italian Renaissance, the Revolution, and the Napoleonic era. 

On your tour, you will hear many intriguing stories about the building itself and the scandals of the royal families who lived here over the centuries. You’ll see the Revolution and Rise of Napoleon through the art of the era, and wander through halls and galleries that were once the private domain of the French royals.
