Quittant Malmaison après la défaite de Waterloo, Napoléon Ier se réfugie du 12 au 15 juillet 1815 dans la maison du commandant de la place de l'île d'Aix, dont il avait ordonné la construction en 1808. Après de longues hésitations, il décide de s'en remettre à l'honneur britannique et se livre aux Anglais. Il quitte alors la terre de France pour un exil définitif sur l'île de Sainte-Hélène, où il mourra en 1821. Acquise en 1925 par le baron Napoléon Gourgaud (arrière-petit-fils du général Gourgaud, qui avait accompagné l'Empereur à Sainte-Hélène), pour y installer ses collections. Le don à l'Etat en 1935, avec réserve d'usufruit, fut effectif après le décès de la baronne Gourgaud en 1959. Installé depuis 1933 dans d’anciennes maisons basses de pêcheurs, le musée Africain est également une création du baron Napoléon Gourgaud.
