The Château de Chantilly is one of the jewels of French heritage. It is also the work of a man with an exceptional destiny: Henri d’Orléans, Duke of Aumale, son of the last king of the French, Louis-Philippe. This prince, considered the greatest collector of his time, made Chantilly the showcase for his countless masterpieces and precious manuscripts. The château has survived the centuries, as the Duke of Aumale offered it to the Institut de France in 1886: the perfect opportunity to embark on a journey through time in the heart of a princely residence. In homage to his illustrious predecessors, the Princes of Condé, the Duke of Aumale named this ensemble the “Condé Museum”.
