Catalogue of the exhibition

Alexander the Great, Caesar, Hannibal, Turenne, Frederick the Great… Napoleon. Via his extraordinary career, Napoleon Bonaparte added his own name to this list of the greatest military leaders. He was the ultimate strategist, mastering each campaign, brilliantly accommodating the intelligence and executing his decisions.

Clear-minded, organised, rapid in execution, flexible, unpredictable… These were General Bonaparte’s battlefield skills, evident right from very first campaigns, and they led him to become Emperor Napoleon I. And using them, he brilliantly played three very different roles at the same time, namely, leader of men, leader of his armies and head of state.

Get inside the head of Napoleon the strategist. Follow him as a student. Understand his methods. Analyse his strengths and weaknesses. Learn about his influence and legacy. Get up close and personal with Napoleon, the man many at the time called “the God of war in person”...

Itinerary through the permanent exhibition

The exhibition Napoleon strategist is meant to be an autonomous museum object, detached from the Revolution and First Empire collections of the musée de l'Armée, which can be admired in the permanent exhibition rooms.
However, the two spaces complement each other and answer one to another: this is the reason why a specific visit circuit is also planned within the permanent collections of the museum, in order to accompany and enrich the visitor who wants it. of the exhibition.
The visitor will be able to wander through 12 stations which will make him discover in a new angle the collections of the musée de l'Armée.
