Decorative arts of the 19th and 20th centuries
From Empire style to Art Nouveau, from the sweeping lines of Victor Horta to the clean lines of Gustave Serrurier-Bovy - whether working with ceramics, wood, textiles, ivory, or a combination of materials, each designer left their own mark on European decorative arts of the 19th and 20th centuries. Objects were specially designed to make everyday life more beautiful.
And now it’s your turn! Every first Sunday of the month, you can join the open ATELIER ouvert table, where a museum guide will challenge you to create your own beautiful designs. Each month features a different project.
In December, we make things cosy. Choose, cut, and paste, and before you know it, you’ve created an original interior in paper. Here’s the bedroom, there’s the kitchen, and there’s Grandma embroidering in front of the fireplace. Maybe you’d like to try it too? Grab a needle and thread and have a go at cross-stitching!
