Musée Louis-Philippe, Royal museum at Château d'Eu, France
The Musée Louis-Philippe is located in the Château d'Eu and displays furniture, porcelain, silverware, and paintings from the royal collection. The exhibition spaces occupy several rooms of the castle and present works spanning different styles and periods.
The museum was founded in 1973 and preserves artifacts from Louis-Philippe I, the last King of France, who resided in this castle. The building itself was renovated over centuries by various rulers and served many purposes before becoming home to this collection.
The collections show connections between the French monarchy and the Brazilian imperial family through various objects on display. These items tell the story of relationships between the two royal houses that remain visible in the exhibited works today.
The museum is accessible from mid-March through early November, and group tours can be reserved throughout the year. Visitors should plan ahead, especially if coming as a group, to make the most of their visit.
The castle received the official designation 'musée de France' in 2003, which means it meets the highest standards for collections and museum management. This recognition shows the quality and reliability of the place for visitors seeking authentic and knowledgeable presentation.
