is rightly 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 euros restoration, the museum reopened in 2006 as one of the top Paris museums. |

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