The 17 Best Museums in Paris
"Occupying the west wing of the Louvre—though not part of the Louvre—the Musée des Arts Décoratifs is the definition of grand. And, as the home to one of the world’s largest collections of decorative arts and design, including fashion, it has to be. It’s also the city’s second oldest museum, after the Louvre, making the historic building itself and its stunning, vaulted central atrium, part of the draw. It doesn’t command the same visitorship as its grand neighbor or the Musée d’Orsay (Les Arts Décoratifs drew in less than 700,000 visitors in 2023) but remains a favorite among design and fashion aficionados." - Lindsey Tramuta, Melissa Liebling-Goldberg
