★★★★★Edited 4 years agoThe museum is free. A lot of unique and amazing things of 18-19 cent. For the lovers of the atmosphere of that time is highly recommended to visit! It took me about 1,5 hour to calmly watch the exposition

★★★★★10 months agoSmall museum crammed with lots of interesting items. Saw several busts and paintings I'd seen in art/history books over the years. Depictions of many members of the Bonaparte extended family. Free to enter.
