MAD - Musée des Arts Décoratifs

With nearly a million works, the collections of the musée des Arts décoratifs are among the most important in the world.
The exhibits bear witness to the French art of living from the Middle Ages to the present day. They offer an unequalled panorama of the history of furniture, tableware, jewelry, design, textiles and fashion, graphics and advertising.
A veritable conservatory of arts and crafts and creative industries, the musée des Arts décoratifs is the museum of materials and “savoir-faire” par excellence.
