French National Museum of the Renaissance

[tafelspitz]

There was an article in the Economist yesterday about an exhibit on the diplomatic reapproachmont between France and the Ottoman Turks in the early 16th C. All very interesting and all. What caught my eye however, is that it is being held at the Musée National de la Renaissance located in the Château d'Ecouen. France has an entire museum dedicated to the Renaissance! Since a goodly number of you are 16th C. addicts, I thought this might be of interest. Has anybody been there?
