Grandson of Napoleon his youngest brother and head of the Imperial Family, Prince Victor Napoleon received a major part of the napoleonique heritage. In 1926 at his death, he left a great number of prestigious souvenirs to his two children. In 1949, his daughter, Princess Marie-Clotilde, wife of Count de Witt, moved with their family to the Pommerie at Cendrieux in the Perigord. In 1976, Prince Napoleon and his sister countess de Witt, donated a significant part of this heritage to the French State, thus it became part of the National patrimony. In 1998 the Count Baudoin de Witt, eldest son of the Countess Marie-Clotilde de Witt, asked for and obtained classification from the bureau of Historic Monuments, of more than 150 objects. In 1999 with his wife Isabelle, they decided to open their manor, the Pommerie, and thus for the first time to present this part of the heritage, hitherto unseen by the general public, in creating the Napoleon Museum at Cendrieux
