In a survey last year which established the ranking of Paris Museums, it came first. No surprise ! The Musée des Arts Décoratifs does not blow its own trumpet and yet manages, year after year to elaborate the ideal equation to which any museum aspires : outstanding collections and interesting ways to present them, an harmonious location with well designed exhibition rooms, visitors so closely watched and taken care of and last but not least, a dedicated and professional staff to host them ... The Museum with humility and professionnalism has developed a unique equation that makes you feel at home and happy to come back. You can sense that everyone in the Museum is involved and caring from the cashiers through the charming staff of the locker room up to the lovely attendants that salute you and recommend you not to forget the first floor of the exhibition ... The museum is currently organising the first exhibition retracing the history of contemporary fashion, in two parts. The project began last autumn with the publication of ‘An Ideal History of Contemporary Fashion’, and is continuing in a different dimension with two consecutive exhibitions. The first of this “two-volume” historic and selective retrospective of fashion will cover the 70s and 80s, the second the 90s and 2000s.
