Every year, the Nuit des Musées invites us to (re)discover our beautiful Parisian and Ile-de-France heritage. For this 20th edition, we invite you to join us on Saturday, May 18, 2024, for nocturnal visits often enriched byoriginal activities. On this occasion, we invite you to unravel the mysteries ofone of Île-de-France's most beautiful châteaux: the Château de Fontainebleau.
With over 1,500 rooms set in 130 hectares of parkland and gardens, the Château de Fontainebleau is the only royal and imperial château to have been continuously inhabited for seven centuries. To visit the Château de Fontainebleau is to benefit from an exceptional presentation of French history, art and architecture. Here, you'll pass through corridors that have seen the greatest princes and dukes come and go, and remain in the state in which Napoleon III and Eugenie left them!
The château's collections include some 30,000 works of art from the 16th to the 19th century, many of which can be admired in the château's historic apartments, the NapoleonI museum, the painting gallery, the furniture gallery and the Chinese museum.
As part of the "Nuit européenne des Musées 2024" event, the Château de Fontainebleau opens its doors for a free nocturne.
Visits are free, but mediation is offered as part of the "Ambassadeurs du Patrimoine" scheme.
A choreographic performance by the Leila Ka company, in partnership with the Théâtre Municipal de Fontainebleau as part of the "Alors on danse?" Festival, will also be offered in a venue usually closed to the public!
Last admission at 11.15pm.
Here's a plan not to be missed during this new Nuit des Musées!
