出生在法国边缘地带的年轻拿破仑，在法国大革命的风潮中崛起，在混乱的政局中把握机会果断行动，终结了法国长期的动荡。在随后的二十年中，他以天才般的军事才华，凭一国之力抗衡并几乎战胜了整个欧洲大陆，让法国登上了世界的巅峰。

在中法建交60周年之际，为增进中法人文交流，促进民心相通，山东博物馆与中国文物交流中心联合引进法国拿破仑第十骑兵团协会157件（套）与拿破仑有关的文献、生活用具、油画、雕塑、服饰等文物展品，策划推出“从平凡到非凡——拿破仑与法兰西的变革时代”展。展览以拿破仑的生平经历为线索，通过“亲情·爱情”“凯旋·败落”“荣誉·文化”“人生·终章”四个部分，全面展现拿破仑从一个平凡少年一步步崛起为法国乃至欧洲的军事和政治领袖的人生历程，再现法兰西艺术文明的辉煌一页。

远涉重洋的珍贵艺术品将在济南公开展示，多角度讲述这位法国历史上的杰出人物的传奇一生，形象地展现法国19世纪的历史风貌与社会形态。其中的《站立的拿破仑像》是本次展览中体量最大的一件，此次也是它首次来到中国。观众可以从浮雕、油画中了解拿破仑的爱情故事；从拿破仑所戴的双角帽中感受由拿破仑掀起的审美浪潮；从各种类型的炮弹、近卫军三星剑等战争文物中，窥见拿破仑跌宕起伏的一生；可以从林林总总的文物中，探索拿破仑家族的故事。
