Longwood, 1817. Napoleon welcomes you to his last residence, on Saint Helena, where dark skies hover over the southern Atlantic Ocean. Your virtual reality helmet enables you to hear his thoughts and listen to his confidences. As he speaks, everything comes to life: the staff meeting on the eve of the Battle of Austerlitz, a cavalry charge by the Guard Cuirassiers, taking the stairs inside the Vendôme Column, the icy atmosphere of the Berezina, the last journey to Saint Helena... Equipped with an HTC Vive Focus 3 helmet, you wander around a 60 m2 venue and discover the First Empire’s emblematic sites and watershed moments, elaborated with great historical accuracy and exceptional rendering of both images and sounds. A selection of the Museum’s collection items acts as an introduction and offers a fascinating perspective on the era and its context. To make this experience truly unforgettable, you chat with the Emperor’s virtual twin. On your own, with family or with friends: don’t miss out on this unique dive into the legend of Napoleon!
