When traveling what we often see is the outside of buildings. We walked by this impressive building several times, before we decided to go inside and see what it contained.
It was the Army Museum and
Napoleon’s Tomb.
We were amazed at what we found inside.
There were rooms filled with armour. There was even armour for children and horses, which must have been hot and heavy to wear.
Napoleon’s Tomb under the dome was beautiful.
An army museum is not something I would venture into normally, especially when there are so many art museums to visit in Paris. This museum was well worth going inside. For more information on the museum visit their web site at: http://www.invalides.org.

I love history and travel–and this post! Perfect for the theme too.
Thanks Naomi. All the armour was amazing to see.
