About the Versailles Museum

The Palace of Versailles is one of the most emblematic palace complexes in Europe and a symbol of the splendor of the French monarchy. Located on the outskirts of Versailles, the palace was enlarged in the 17th century by King Louis XIV, who transformed a former hunting residence into a majestic political and court center. During the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI, Versailles established itself as the epicenter of royal power and French cultural refinement.
