Museum of Decorative Arts - Musée des Arts Decora
Bordeaux
Museums and Art Galleries
The French are unsurpassed for elegant furnishings and fine porcelain and the exceptional collections of these at the Musée des Arts Decoratif will not disappoint you nor will the beautiful 18th century home, originally the Hôtel de Lalande.
Decorative arts are represented from the 17th century to current design but the guiding principal for the Museum is to represent the atmosphere of a house in the 18th and 19th centuries with prestigious porcelain of Bordeaux, paneling, fireplaces, paintings and floors. Modern times are represented with Bordeaux Art Deco, the decorative arts of the Memphis group and the revival of the goldsmith Roland Daraspe.
