The Museo Napoleonico in Rome presents the collections of Count Giuseppe Primoli, the great-grandson of Joseph and of Lucien Bonaparte.

The museum is arranged in exactly the same way as it was when first planned by its founder. Primoli’s aim was to present the imperial family from a private point of view. The history of the First and Second Empires is therefore evoked through the private lives of its main protagonists. The museum goes beyond the official iconography linked to the major historical events of the time and explores the Bonapartes’ day-to-day lives through a great variety of objects.
