Arts Decoratifs

Paris is famous for fashion, jewelry, tableware and stylish furniture. Many people come to Paris to do their shopping and discover the best from Paris artists, designers and artisans.

If you are one of them, rush to Arts Decoratifs (Paris Decorative arts museum). After 10 years of closure and a 35 million euro restoration, the museum opened in 2006 as a top Paris museum.

The museum displays 6000 exceptional pieces of art designed by the greatest artists and artisans in fields ranging from cabinetmaking, precious metalwork to ceramics, glass, design and fashion.

Les Arts Decoratifs are the only institution in the world to be able to pay tribute to the many illustrious names who forged the history of French style and taste.

The list includes Boulle, Sevres, Aubusson, Christofle, Lalique, Guimard, and Le Corbusier.

The modern display of jewels, fashion clothing, modern furniture and advertizing at Arts Decoratifs is absolutely spectacular.

Add to that the grandiose building, part of the Louvre palace, some of the greatest views of Paris from the museum windows and the outdoor museum restaurant in the Tuileries garden.

The Decorative Arts Museum is certainly one of the best kept secrets of Paris and an excellent introduction to French style, taste and fashion. 

We strongly recommend les Arts Decoratifs, a must for lovers of design, fashion and French culture.

The Decorative Arts Museum is located in the Louvre palace. The address is 107, rue de Rivoli 75001 Paris.
