2026 Exhibition programme at the Château de Versailles | Château de Versailles
In September 2026, the Château de Versailles will celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Sofia Coppola’s film Marie Antoinette through an exhibition presented at the Petit Trianon, a place intimately linked to the queen and the setting for numerous scenes of the film. Now a cult classic, Marie Antoinette profoundly renewed the image of the last queen, helping to shape a cultural icon blending history, modernity and pop imagination. Awarded the Academy Award for Best Costume Design in 2007, Sofia Coppola’s distinctive aesthetic —combining historical rigour, contemporary boldness and pastel refinement — gave rise to a true “Marie Antoinette style”, whose influence is still felt in fashion, design and photography.
Deployed at the heart of the Trianon estate, the exhibition will invite visitors behind the scenes of this cinematic creation: original costumes by Milena Canonero, filming accessories, storyboards, annotated scripts, set photographs and set design sketches. Screenings will allow visitors to revisit sequences filmed in the very rooms where they were shot, offering a unique immersive experience in which the historic space and its cinematic reinterpretation resonate with one another.
