TREASURES OF NAPOLEON @ THE MUZEO - 241 S. Anaheim Bl., Anaheim.

In this exhibition, the drama and splendor of an extraordinary period of time “come alive” for visitors of all ages.

The goal of this unique exhibition is multi-fold. First, it allows visitors the opportunity to see beyond the “legend” of Napoléon Bonaparte to gain an understanding of this complex figure as a man. Second, it reveals how art and design played a key role in creating not only his Empire, but also his lasting place in history and in the public’s consciousness. Third, it provides a highly entertaining experience for the audience... allowing them to encounter the type of historic objects and art that can rarely be seen outside the halls of the great museums and palaces of Europe
