A Journey Through Time: The French Revolution in 1793-1794
The French Revolution is often synonymous with great upheaval, from the storming of the Bastille in 1789 to the end of Napoleon's regime. However, the year 1793-1794, often referred to as "Year II," is a particularly complex and crucial period. It is a phase of transition where revolutionary ideals clash with the brutal realities of power. This year is marked by an intensification of violence and radical reforms, a striking contrast to the earlier, more idealized years of the Revolution.
The exhibition at the Carnavalet Museum highlights this period through an exceptional collection of over 250 works. You will discover paintings, sculptures, decorative art objects, historical documents, and pieces of furniture that capture both the terror and the everyday aspects of life during the Revolution. These works provide insight into collective fears and state violence, while also revealing the moments of festivities and unique celebrations of this time.
