• The Middle Ages reborn.
There were plans to turn the romantic ruins at Pierrefonds bought by
Napoleon I into an occasional imperial residence, but this was quickly
dropped and the site was used as a museum. The monument opened to the
public in 1867.
• Decorations prefiguring Art nouveau.
On the ceiling of the reception room, wooden sculptures inspired by the
plant kingdom prefigure the decorative approach which reached its peak
50 years later.
