Presentation
This summer, Biarritz pays homage to its greatest muse, Empress Eugenie de Montijo: it was for her that her husband, Emperor Napoleon III, had the Imperial Palace built in 1854, which became the Hôtel du Palais, one of the jewels of the city.
The exhibition is an invitation to discover more about the periods that the imperial couple spent there between 1854 and 1868, in a layout punctuated by numerous portraits (paintings, engravings, busts), books, objects… and rare items from public collections or loans from private individuals.
This is an original exhibition commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Empress’s death on 11 July 1920.
