About
Musée des Arts Décoratifs, also known in English as the Museum of Decorative Arts, stands at 107 Rue de Rivoli in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. It sits within the Louvre complex, so a visit fits easily alongside time spent in the area around the Louvre and the Tuileries.
What you will see
The museum showcases French decorative arts, fashion and design, covering a long span from the Middle Ages to the present day. Its collections bring together:
- furniture
- jewelry
- toys
- contemporary design
Moving through the galleries, you can follow how everyday objects and luxury pieces have changed in style over many centuries, and how French makers have shaped them.
Planning your visit
The museum suits visitors interested in design history, craftsmanship and fashion, as well as those who simply enjoy looking closely at well-made objects. Because it is housed in the Louvre complex, it pairs well with a wider day of sightseeing in central Paris, with the riverside, gardens and cafés of the surrounding streets close at hand.
