Hunt down all 24 significant treasures from the Middle Ages through World War II. One of the treasures is the sword used by Francis I during the 16th century, another is a burgonet from the 1550s worn by Henry II, and a third treasure is the iconic bicorn hat worn by Napoléon I.

Quite expansive and very interesting museum, I liked it better than the Louvre personally because the content is more my flavor. Lots of written history as well as plenty of exhibits with vintage items. Being from the US it was enlightening to see history which I was already familiar with being told from the French perspective, it breathes new life into it and enhanced my understanding. Definitely my favorite Paris museum.

I visited the WWI & WWII exhibits.. I was very impressed with the curating. There were so many interesting props actually used in WW2. Everything was in French, but there were English subtitles to probably a third of the exhibits. Granted, it still took 1.5 hours to absorb and read everything! (And I was trying to quickly move through).
