Versailles celebrates twenty years of Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette

The Château de Versailles is marking the twentieth anniversary of Sofia Coppola’s film with an exhibition on the making of it, at the Petit Trianon — the house Marie‑Antoinette was given in 1774 and made entirely her own — from 22 September 2026 to 24 January 2027. Designed with the director, it brings together the original costumes by Milena Canonero, which won her a third Academy Award, shoes by Manolo Blahnik, props, storyboards, annotated scripts and photographs from the set, with sequences from the film projected in the rooms where they were shot.

The exhibition is curated by Laurent Salomé, director of the national museum of the palaces of Versailles and Trianon, and the heritage curator Hélène Delalex, with the support of the Ministère de la Culture and Cartier, and Pathé, Vogue, Première, Radio Nova, Views and france.tv as partners.
