General, brilliant military strategist, and French statesman. Napoleon rose to power quickly thanks to his military genius during the French Revolution, proclaimed himself emperor, and ruled over much of Europe before being defeated and exiled to St. Helena.
Between revolutionary ideals and imperial ambitions, Napoleon was a controversial but key figure throughout the 18th century: on the one hand a military genius and reformer, on the other a conqueror and tyrant.
Thanks to Napoleon, the immersive adventure—a virtual reality experience—you can discover all this up close, as if you were there alongside the general.
