Conferences
Of kings, knights and cannons
To tie in with the exhibition, Musée de l’Armée is organising a series of conferences in partnership with Paris Municipal Adult Education University. The topics are based on the transformations in warfare in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance. Through cultural manifestations, royal figures and the technical developments and revolutions, they will attempt to shed light on the complex intermingling of the old ways inherited from the medieval past and the major new wave of modernisation.
