NAPOLEON

As the seller behind the greatest real estate deal in American history - the Louisiana Purchase - which doubled the size of the country at a cost of $15 million, or approximately four cents per acre, Napoléon Bonaparte (1769-1821) remains an undeniably powerful and enigmatic figure in world history.

Created from the extraordinary collection of First Empire authority and author Pierre-Jean Chalençon, the NAPOLEON Exhibition features more than 300 rare artifacts, including original framed paintings, sculptures, personal effects, prints, and documents, as well as furniture from the Imperial palaces.

The exhibition is organized into twelve sections that trace Napoléon's life: The Rise to Power, The Egyptian Campaign, First Consul, The Coronation, The Emper or's Family, The Imperial Court, Art and the Emperor, Napoléon at War, The Road to Defeat, The Final Exile, Death of the Emperor, and Legend.

The connections between Napoléon and the United States are highlighted throughout the exhibition and include the influence of the American Revolution on the French Revolution, Napoléon's admiration for George Washington, the impact of the Louisiana Purchase on America, President James Monroe's redecoration of the White House in the First Empire style, and the  fascinating Bonaparte family connection to our region -- Napoléon's brother, Joseph Bonaparte, who lived in Philadelphia and Bordentown, New Jersey for 20 years.
