Not very well known museum in Versailles ville. An eclectic art and furniture family collection which befits the era. Very well documented events for the French Revolution and a portrait of Miss Charlotte Corday who murdered Marat for the right reasons. Coupled with a visit to the Musée Picasso in Paris, good to see the portrait of this unusual killer. Then the events which saw Napoleon's rise etc are also very well documented. Building itself is in need of further care as a strange scent emanates from the wooden structure but a really great place to visit to understand French history and the history of Versailles.

A well-presented little museum which is an alternative (or accompaniment) to the palace. Has a variety of exhibits and takes you through the history of the town. The main text in each room is also presented in English - which is handy as I don't understand much (any) French!

A gem of a place. Quaint little 18th century chateau where you can learn a lot about Versailles!

This is the municipal museum of the city of Versailles. There are three different levels with different collections on each. This is a great option to see some beautiful French artifacts without fighting the crowds at the chateau. Entry was cheap, I believe 5 Euro.

I love these little museums off the beaten track. Small and quiet but still interesting. Lovely collection of paintings and objects. Peronally I loved the period rooms. It gives you a good idea of what these houses looked like in the past as most of the wood panelling is still in tact. Definitely recommended when in Versailles.
