caught a preview of their exhibition on BBC world news. Awesome collection of historical relief maps preserved in several museums.

quick youtube of the event

the model making is unbelievable and the attention to accuracy phenomenal. More youtube vids are available, most in French but there are good descriptions on how they went about siege warfare and there is a workshop, available to kids, that lets them play with an 18m^2 relief map of rome and learn how to build the terrain.

the epic part of it was all the models were made for military purposes and Napoleon jumped onboard to both save the existing ones and make some more.

Thanks for the find Stu!

At some point I think people need to just accept that bad match ups and mission incompatabilities are possible.

Check this place out too! Musee do Moyen Age
They had a great exhibition of swords when I was there.
The Invalides War Museum is also worth a visit.
