Freshly reopened, we went to have a look at the wonderful exhibits of this museum based in the Louvre building.

To see this new museum there’s a pretty hefty queue, so as we waited to get in we took advantage of the ambiance of the rue de Rivoli.

Once inside the hall, we were already wowed by the architecture.

The Decorative Arts Museum also houses the Publicity Museum (Musée de la Publicité) and the Fashion Museum (Musée de la Mode), meaning there’s something for every taste, and always something new to see when you come back.
The Museum and the collection is vast. You’ll need a whole day if you want to see everything in detail.

The Decorative Arts Museum is arranged chronologically, from the Middle Ages up to modern, contemporary objects.
There are also themed galleries, such as the jewellery gallery that we would particularly recommend.
