Appartement du roi, Art museum in Palace of Versailles, France
The King's Apartment features a series of connected rooms with marble panels, painted ceilings, and ornate furnishings spanning the first floor of Versailles Palace.
Louis XIV transformed these private chambers in 1678, establishing spaces to display his art collections and host diplomatic meetings with foreign representatives.
The rooms contain collections of European paintings, including works from masters like Raphael and Correggio, displayed in the Cabinet aux Tableaux during Louis XIV's reign.
The King's Apartment opens for guided tours at 10:00 AM, allowing visitors to explore rooms that are not accessible during regular palace visits.
The Clock Cabinet houses Passemant's astronomical clock from 1754, which established the first official time measurement across France.
