Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris

Journey through hundreds of years of decorative arts and discover the beauty of everyday items at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris.

The museum of design, Le Musée des Arts Décoratifs, gives you an extraordinary insight into the world of interiors, fashion and advertising.

The permanent collections of furniture show you the transition in interior design from the intricacies of the Middle Ages to the daring work of contemporary artists.

There are ornamental and functional items on show, illustrating changing styles in furniture, toys, jewellery, sculptures, ceramics and glassware throughout history. If you are ever looking for inspiration for the design of your own home, the stairwell located to the far right as you enter the building will not fail to deliver: its visual timeline of design from "l'art nouveau to les années 2000" offers a clear and exciting vision of interiors of the modern age.

All year round, there is also the opportunity for you to see temporary exhibitions on fashion and textiles and advertising.
