This exhibit is dedicated to France’s most famous queen, Marie Antoinette. It promises to offer incredible insight to what made Marie Antoinette such a strong and complex personality. The exhibit includes 300 works from all over Europe.
If you are a true M-A fanatic, I recommend reading both “Marie Antoinette” by Antonia Fraser, as well as “Abundance” by Sena Jeter Naslund. Each gives a great perspective of the myths and realities of Marie-Antoinette’s life. They are great reads before visiting Versailles and the Conciergerie, for instance, and they would probably help make great sense of this exhibit at the Grand Palais as well.

I was there last week and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It is put together so well as only the French could pull it off. I highly recommend the exhibit to anyone who has an interest in Marie Antoinette.
