Marie Antoinette’s private boudoir and mechanical mirror room at Versailles
In this series, The Conversation pays tribute to the art we wish could visit and hope to see once travel restrictions are lifted.
A LONG a dusty path on the outskirts of the Château de Versailles lies my favorite destination: Queen Marie-Antoinette’s private bedroom and boudoir in the
