Musée des Arts Décoratifs
The Musée des Arts Décoratifs explores furniture, interiors and design in the Louvre’s Marsan wing. It is a strong alternative to painting galleries for visitors interested in how objects shape rooms and everyday life.
Why go
French furniture, ceramics, glass and reconstructed interiors make styles easier to understand through materials and use. Art Nouveau, Art Deco and modern designers extend the story beyond historic decoration. Fashion, advertising and graphic art add further strands, so selecting a subject helps keep the museum’s varied scope from becoming an unfocused survey.
What to look for
Period rooms show furniture and decoration together as interiors.
Glass holdings include works by René Lalique and Émile Gallé.
Modern design holdings include Eileen Gray and Charlotte Perriand.
Useful to know
Choose interiors, object design or the current exhibition as the main focus.
Distinguish this museum on rue de Rivoli from the Louvre’s painting and antiquities galleries.
