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.
