Exposition Marie Antoinette à la Conciergerie
- Marie Antoinette is a queen who has become an icon of popular culture, as famous for her death as for her decadent life.
- No historical figure has known such a profusion of representations, during his lifetime, and, especially, after his death on October 16, 1793.
- The Conciergerie explores the life of the last queen of France and especially the relationship of the French to Marie-Antoinette.
- It has often been passionate and conflictual, generating cults, tributes, or on the contrary violent attacks, and in recent years, it has experienced a resurgence in popularity.
- It is through nearly 200 works, art objects and archives, film excerpts, fashion accessories, and manga that the multiple representations of Marie-Antoinette are presented.
- The exhibition addresses five themes to understand the different images of Queen Marie-Antoinette.
