About Invalides museum - museum of Army
Housed in the majestic Hôtel des Invalides in Paris — built by Louis XIV for his wounded soldiers and crowned by its glittering golden dome — the Army Museum is one of the greatest military history museums in the world. Its vast collections span the history of warfare from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, with magnificent suits of armour, swords, firearms, uniforms, flags and artillery, and superb galleries devoted to the two World Wars. At its heart, beneath the golden dome, lies the monumental tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte, a place of solemn grandeur visited by people from around the world. Immense, spectacular and profoundly historic, the Army Museum at Les Invalides offers an unforgettable journey through French and European military history and one of the most iconic monuments of Paris — an essential destination in the capital.
