If you are a Napoleon fan, you will appreciate being in what is reputed to be the room of his birth. For the most part this museum is great to show the life style of his descendants. He lived there briefly and then seemed to have taken no interest in it. The collection is very complete for the early 19th... More

I really enjoyed our visit here. The entry fee of 6 Euro includes an audio guide so is great value for money. You really do need the audio guide if you cannot read French as all of the exhibits have signs and notes only in that language. Is is nice seeing how the house changed over the different times the...

The tour, accompanied by audio explanations is very interesting, perhaps providing more details than the average tourist can take in at one go. The rooms themselves are fascinating to walk through. For people who appreciate gem/stone inlaid tables and chests, there are several excellent examples.

A good way to kill an hour, especially if the weather's not great. There are one or two particularly interesting rooms, especially the ballroom. It's just a little disappointing to find out how little time he actually spent there! The audio guide system is very good.

This is a must when visiting Corsica. You get audio guides included in the ticket, and the tour was excellent. Most focus was out on the history of the house, not on Napoleons war victories. I would recommend knowing something about The House of Napoleon before attending this exhibit to get the most out of your visit.

We were in Ajaccio for one day on a Monday, the day of the week that this museum is shut. This was a great disappointment for me personally as I am a student of early 19th Century French military history, in particular the Napoleonic Wars, and I would have loved to have visited where Napoleon was born. I've been to... More

The museum really did a good job in placing the house and the Bonaparte family in the historical context. Unfortunately, as with the vast majority of the historical sites in Corsica, everything was in French only.

Interesting museum, we had 45 minutes to see it before closing time. We asked for an audio guide upon entering - it seems the audio guide is longer than 45 minutes. I said I didn't mind, we were happy to pay for the guide as we wanted to get a flavor of the place with its help...the lady taking the... More

If you're visiting Ajaccio, you would be foolish not to visit the birthplace of Napoleon, even though, after the age of 9, Napoleon didn't really spend much time in Ajaccio, and the time he did spend here isn't very interesting. If you're not familiar with his life and achievements, this museum will not really fill in the picture for you... More
