The Louisiana State Museum (LSM) will host yet another world-class exhibition this summer in the Old U.S. Mint in New Orleans’ French Quarter: Treasures of Napoléon.
Treasures of Napoléon offers visitors an amazing opportunity to see beyond the myth of Napoléon Bonaparte and gain an understanding of this complex figure as a man. The exhibition includes over 250 extraordinary artifacts that trace this seminal historic figure’s life including: the earliest known letter in his hand; the valise that brought him the signed Louisiana Purchase documents from America; the sword that proclaimed him Emperor in the Coronation Ceremony at Notre Dame; his camp bed from the Battle of Wagram; his personal map of the French Empire (1812); the clothes he wore soon before his death; and in his own hand, the first will he wrote during his final, lonely exile on the desolate island of St. Helena. Perhaps the signature artifact in the exhibition is one of his legendary hats which Napoléon wore during the battle at Essling in 1809. Wearing the brim aligned to his shoulders to distinguish himself from the other officers on the battlefield, Napoleon wore these now iconic hats as he strode across the European continent and into the pages of history.
The exhibition also contains paintings, sketches and sculpture by the greatest artists of the time including: Gros, David, Canova, Gerard, Isabey, Houdon, Percier, Fontaine, Delaroche, Chaudet, Vernet, Mauzaisse, and more. Silver, porcelain, textiles, furniture and jewelry on display come from the finest manufacturers of 1st Empire France. Among the many featured decorative art pieces is the dramatic 12-foot high Imperial bed of the Emperor’s brother Jérôme Bonaparte, King of Westphalia.
The exhibition’s tour is the first time the Chalençon Collection will have been seen in North America and the first time a number of the items on display will have ever been seen by the general public. “The pieces in the exhibition have been selected not only for their great beauty and rarity, but also because they allow us to see into the heart of this extraordinary man.” Explained Monsieur Chalençon, who is a noted authority and author on the Napoleonic era.
“Napoléon is one of the most charismatic figures of all time,” notes David Kahn, the Louisiana State Museum’s director, “he leaps out of the pages of the history books as visitors will get to see so many of his personal belongings.”
Treasures of Napoléon is a traveling exhibition from the Russell Etling Company. The exhibition is presented in New Orleans with the support of the Louisiana Museum Foundation, W.R. Irby Trust, Office of Lt. Governor and the Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism, and the Lelong family. Additional support is provided by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities.
Treasures of Napoléon is on view through – August 3, 2008. Admission is $6 for adults/$5 for students, seniors, and active military. Children under 12 and Museum members admitted free.
For more information about the Louisiana State Museum please call 800.568.6968 or visit http://lsm.crt.state.la.us.
