This glass-covered courtyard houses: - Puget's dramatic Milon of Crotona - Perseus rescuing Andromeda - Natural light creating shadow play - Benches for contemplation

French Portrait Sculptures (Room 214-216, Richelieu)

- Voltaire's knowing smirk - Diderot's animated conversation - Royal children with pet dogs - Revolutionary heroes idealized

The Slaves Gallery (Room 101-102, Richelieu)

Often empty but powerful: - Works exploring human bondage - Abolitionist art before its time - Difficult history acknowledged - Emotional impact across centuries
