The Petit Trianon was Marie-Antoinette’s personal retreat at Versailles, and one of the few places where she could express herself and her taste. Through the decorative arts, paintings, and sculpture that adorned the Petit Trianon, visitors glimpse the true style of the queen and see how it played a role in the history of France.
Marie-Antoinette and the Petit Trianon at Versailles also looks behind the myths and scandals that surrounded Marie-Antoinette to her true personality and role as tastemaker.
This exhibition comes directly from Versailles for an exclusive, one-time-only presentation. Many of the objects have never before left French soil.
Organized in collaboration with the Établissement Public du Musée et du Domaine National de Versailles, this exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue. -- www.thinker.org
