Musee des Arts Decoratifs de Paris

One of Paris' main draws is its timeless devotion to fashion. The city certainly has carved out a place for itself on the throne of world fashion centers. And it has done so largely thanks to its designers and its reverence for the decorative arts. This museum, dedicated to all things decorative, whether that be interior design, textiles, furniture or fashion, puts the spotlight on outstanding creative talent and collections. For example, during the summer of 2017 the exhibiton was devoted to Christian Dior's collections mainly from the 50s and early 60s. The museum is located just next to the Louvre at the beginning of the Tulieries. It covers over 6OOO square meters of exhibition space and houses more than 6000 objects of historical and decorative value. The most popular time to visit is in the afternoon after lunch, so if you don't want to wait in line or be rubbing shoulders with big crowds, it's probably best to go at off hours. The exhibits change every few months so check the website to see what you will be able to take in while there.
