This striking museum, brimming with exquisite ceramics and fine furniture, features thought-provoking exhibits on fashion and Paris’s shopping history, making it a must-visit.
"Occupying the west wing of the Louvre—though not part of the Louvre—the Musée des Arts Décoratifs is the definition of grand. And, as the home to one of the world’s largest collections of decorative arts and design, including fashion, it has to be. It’s also the city’s second oldest museum, after the Louvre, making the historic building itself and its stunning, vaulted central atrium, part of the draw. It doesn’t command the same visitorship as its grand neighbor or the Musée d’Orsay (Les Arts Décoratifs drew in less than 700,000 visitors in 2023) but remains a favorite among design and fashion aficionados." - Lindsey Tramuta, Melissa Liebling-Goldberg
"Host city for an exhibition demonstrating Cartier's blend of traditional craftsmanship with Islamic artistic influences."
"There’s no shortage of museums in Paris, but after hitting the nearby Louvre, a stop at the The Musée des Arts Décoratifs is also worthwhile. With an impressive array of antique to modern furniture (there are Louis XVI chairs and Charlotte Perriand shelves) and often marquee fashion exhibit. This upcoming, it's an examination of fashion in sports, in honor of the 2024 Olympics." - Elise Taylor
