chateau in Vizille, France where the museum of the french revoltution is





Chateau in Vizille, France right outside of Grenoble. It was kind of weird because about 5 years ago i went there as a missionary but didn't realize it until we got there. It is where the musee de la revolution francaise (the french revolution museum) is



liked this statue but it didn't have any plaque or info about the title or the sculpture

The title of this is called, "Marie Antoinette leaving the conciergerie October 16th 1793." There are a lot of paintings that showed the king and queens captivity and death. 

This description pf this painting was actually really touching. It's called "The death of Miss Gardiner," it is a young woman with her aunt right before she dies. She is explaining to her aunt that she had a dream where she saw her mother; already deceased and that she wanted to join her. Moments after telling her aunt about the dream she died.

The title of this painting translates as "Marie-Antoinette surrendering to be executed"




the grounds are beautiful and go on forever in the other opposite direction of this photo. We didn't have a lot of time so I couldn't go and really walk through the grounds but was able to see all of the museum so that was good.
