Book the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, in the heart of the Louvre, culture and Paris

In the heart of Paris, in the Louvre Palace, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (MAD) offers one of the richest collections of decorative arts in the world and, through its permanent collections, a discovery of the history of furniture, the art of living and interior decoration. One of the most beautiful collections of jewelry in Europe is on display, and the numerous temporary exhibitions presented in the Nave, the fashion galleries, the Rivoli and Tuileries galleries, and the advertising gallery have become a must-see event. The prestige of venues and the diversity of the program will contribute to the success of the events organized in the magnificent spaces of the MAD.

On either side, the three floors of galleries housing the permanent collections of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs are displayed behind bay windows. Its sculpted stone decoration, its spectacular mosaic floor decorated with large floral scrolls as well as the beauty of its volumes make the Nave a privileged place to host private events.
