Periwinkle Section – Nineteenth Century Rooms (in the real palace, these are the Crimea Rooms, which usually host visiting exhibitions):
a) Louis-Philippe Room 1
b) Louis-Philippe Room 2
c) Louis XVIII Room
d) Charles X Room
After the fall of Napoleon, the formerly-reigning Bourbon family was invited to return to the throne of France by the Great Powers. Louis XVI's younger brother accepted the throne and reigned as Louis XVIII until his death a decade or so later. Yet another younger brother, Charles X, reigned after Louis XVIII's death until the July Revolution of 1830 saw Louis-Philippe de Orleans (a cousin of the Bourbons) take the throne. Louis-Philippe was the one who headed the conversion of the Palace into the Museum of the History of France (before losing HIS throne to yet another revolution in 1848).
These rooms here (which are fictitious and do not exist in the real Palace) showcase the families of these three men and momentous occasions during their reigns.
