What happened to Julius Caesar after his victory at Alesia? With his legions, he pursued his policy of conquest in Egypt, Africa and Spain to gain full power. He defeated his rivals, forged diplomatic alliances and returned to Rome triumphant. Close to the people but betrayed by those closest to him, he met a tragic end. Political and military, admired and hated at the same time, often wrongly considered to be an emperor, he has always fascinated the powerful: Charles V, Sultan Soliman II, Henry IV, Louis XIV, Napoleon I, Christine of Sweden, Napoleon III... and today he is one of the most famous figures of Antiquity.
Thanks to prestigious loans (from the Museum of Modern Art in Bologna, the Musée national du château de Compiègne, the Musée d'arts de Nantes, the Musée archéologique de Dijon, etc.) combined with innovative immersive digital devices, the exhibition brings to life the last years of Caesar's life and his irresistible rise to power. The exhibition is designed to be accessible to the youngest visitors, making for an unforgettable experience: scenes from Caesar's life recreated in Playmobil®, a mediation area for reading and playing at the end of the visit, and two booklet-games for 3-6 year olds and 7-12 year olds.
As part of the exhibition, the MuséoParc Alésia is offering a cultural season entirely dedicated to Julius Caesar and Roman civilisation.
