Musée de l'Histoire de France (Museum of French History) in Versailles, presenting works illustrating key moments in France's history
Inaugurated in 1837, this museum was created by order of King Louis-Philippe, and dedicated "to all the Glories of France". It presents works illustrating the high points of France's history, and evokes its great men, from Clovis onwards. 3,000 paintings were commissioned by the king to accompany older works drawn from the national collections. Some of the rooms are open to the public as part of a self-guided tour of the château, while others are open to the public on guided tours.
