architectural plan for the conversion of the Palace of Versailles to become a Musee for French History. Ordered by King Louis Phillipe. The museum was located in the Aile du Midi (South Wing), which during the Ancien Regime had been used to lodge the members of the royal family. It was begun in 1833 and inaugurated on 30 June 1837. Its most famous room is the Galerie des Batailles (Hall of Battles), which lies on most of the length of the second floor
