Musée Grévin- Madame Laetitia entouree de sa famille

Here's a photo from the Musée Grévin in Paris. The scene is entitled Madame Laetitia entouree de sa famille, which shows Laetitia Bonaparte with her family. Her son Napoleon stands behind her, as well as her other children. She lived to be 85 years old, and died in 1836.


A closer view of some of the family.

Musée Grévin- Bonaparte and Josephine

Bonaparte et Josephine Pendant une soiree a la Malmaison.

This photograph shows Napoleon and Josephine during a party at the famed Chateau Malmasion. This is a very posed shot, and we can see the two in the center of the tableaux, while the other guests are off to each side.


Napoleon and Josephine Bonapart. The female figure is lounging on the seat while Napoleon is standing in his most famous pose.


These three young maidens are standing together outside, and are quite involved with the bird that one has in her hand. The large mural represents the french countryside.

Musée Grévin- Exterior

I really like this image of the Musée Grévin in France. The architecture looks so Art Deco and European. Who would not want to enter this historical museum and see the wonders it holds. The entrance still looks similar today as it did in this photo, but the figures atop the balcony are gone and the facade has been painted.

Musée Grévin- An Evening at Malmaison

Musée Grévin in Paris France is one of the oldest wax museums in the world, and it holds some of the greatest wax figures and wax tableaux ever (based on the pictures I've seen). Here we see many a French dignitary enjoy Chateau Malmaison one quiet evening. Standing on the left are Joseph Fouché and Louis Alexandre Berthier. Sitting at the table are Joseph Bonaparte, Jean Jacques Régis de Cambacérès, Charles Francois Lebrun and Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord. Don't ask me who is who.


I am assuming that this is Bonaparte, and that the other gentlemen at the table are Cambacérès, Lebrun, and Talleyrand.

And the rest. Maybe Talleyrand. I am just not up on the history of the French Revolution.

News- Tony Parker figure at Musée Grévin

On Saturday October 7th the Musée Grévin in Paris France unveiled a new wax figure of San Antonio spurs guard Tony Parker. Parker helped introduce the figure which looks strikingly accurate in all detail. The sculptors did a terrific job recreating his likeness.


This shot shows Parker and all the people around who were at the unveiling. He is the first sports star to be enshrined at the museum.
