For the first time in history, a collection of over 130 sumptuous treasures from the Palace of Versailles are coming to Australia. Exclusive to the National Gallery of Australia, the exhibition showcases the opulence, luxury and beauty of a period central to French history, bringing life to the reign of three kings, their queens and mistresses.
Highlights include magnificent works, such as the marble bust of Louis XIV, the monumental Gobelins tapestries, the Dauphin’s fine writing desk, the original sculpture of Latona from the centre of Versailles’ main fountain and Marie-Antoinette’s porcelain.
