Explore the fascinating evolution of Paris’s most iconic museums in this engaging three-part illustrated lecture series. Discover how the city’s first major museums were born — from the upheaval of the French Revolution to the passions of private collectors — and how they’ve transformed over time. Topics include the Revolutionary Museums (such as the Louvre, the Museum of Natural History, and the Museum of Arts and Crafts), the grand History Museums (like the Museum of the History of France at the Château de Versailles and the Carnavalet Museum), and the remarkable Collectors’ Museums (including the Cluny, Guimet, Cernuschi, and Condé Museums). Join Russell Kelley for a cultural journey through the institutions that helped shape — and preserve — France’s extraordinary heritage.
