Musée napoléonien de l'île d'Aix, Historical museum in Île-d'Aix, France
The museum occupies the commandant's house, featuring multiple rooms filled with artifacts, paintings, and personal belongings connected to Napoleon Bonaparte's life and reign.
Napoleon spent his final days in France at this house from July 12 to 15, 1815, before departing for exile in Saint Helena.
The collection includes paintings, busts, miniatures, caricatures, and period furniture that document the French Empire's artistic and decorative traditions.
The museum receives over 20,000 visitors annually and requires boat access to reach the island location in Charente-Maritime.
Napoleon's bedroom remains preserved as it was in 1815, displaying a facsimile of his surrender letter to the British Prince Regent.
