Le Vizir

Le Vizir

During a trip to Paris a few years ago, I decided to check out the Musee de L’armee, site of Napoleon’s Tomb.

Aside from the massive tomb, a couple things stick out from that visit:

1) Napoleon’s Stuffed Horse, Vizir- When his horse died, Napoleon had him stuffed and displayed. The horse was actually quite small and a little worse for wear, being nearly 200 years old.

2) There was a fantastic section on WWII, with one area dedicated to propoganda. One of them, a Japanese piece, depicted FDR as a green monster with horns and pointy teeth. I’ve been looking around for it on the internet, but no luck so far. If anyone finds it, send me a link!
