A lot of 30s paintings.Love exhibitions there!Akready saw Brigitte Bardot and Audrey Hepburn exhibits.A glamourous museum.
... which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Well off the beaten path on the western edge of Paris. I was there on a rainy holiday Friday and think I was the only one in the museum at the time. I expected to see a lot of art deco, but the collection is small. There was also an exhibit of colonial (Indochina and Africa) art. There w was also art and artifacts from the 50s.
Unless you are an Art Deco lover I would not recommend this museum for a first visit to Paris although the museum has a nice collection of paintings, sculptures and also furniture which are worth a detour. Also it is next to the "Grand Place" of Boulogne a lively place with restaurants, cafés and shops and a metro one block away only.
A small museum dedicated to painting, sculpture, furniture and design of the thirties, Musee des Annees 30 is well worth a visit - especially if you're an Art Deco fan. It has some terrific paintings but sometimes they are hard to enjoy because there is so much sculpture on display. I was wishing that they would put some in storage and give everything a little more breathing space. There is also an interesting collection of French colonial art.This is another of the small treasure houses of Paris where you're promised an uncrowded, unhurried experience. Add it to your list if you've decided to look beyond the Paris "top ten".
This place received a short blurb in our guide book but is perhaps the most underrated museum in Paris, with an extensive, discriminating collection of paintings, drawings, sculpture, ceramics, carvings, photographs, furniture and industrial design items such as radios, telephones, dining and kitchenware and mechanical objects - all magnificent specimens of French 1930s Art Deco and Art Moderne. Not only that, the place was absolutely empty but for us, and this during the high season between Christmas and New Years when literally every other museum we went to in Paris had lines snaking everywhere and hour-long waits. A lovely, unique must-see. William AptAustin TX
It is the museum I know that has the richest and diversified permanent collection, furniture, paintings, sculptures.... And the spécial exhibitions are always interesting
Achei o ingresso caro para o que o museu oferece. A coleção sobre design de moveis e utensílios é divertida. Talvez pq eu não fale francês, achei que o museu não conta muito sobre a decada. Mas, se VC tem tempo e já viu as principais atrações da região, é um excelente programa.
The 4th floor I could have spent all day on! Great examples of furniture, art and particularly early industrial items - typewriters, hair dryers, cameras, fans, record players and so on. Some of the designs look very contemporary. Other floors mostly art and sculpture. Still interesting but not quite my thing. There is a walking tour available at reception that you can do covering the many period houses and other buildings in the area. Lots of stuff like Le Corbusier for,example. We did this on a sunny Sunday and the streets were quiet, but still took us a good 90 minutes. If you don't have that much time the area immediately close to Parc des Princes is where I would head for
Start on the top (4th) floor and work down. There is a good collection of 30s material and below on the 3rd and 2nd floors art (including colonial art). All well set out in a modern light building. Also, pick up a leaflet showing walking tours of the area's modernist and art deco buildings.
Salles inégales, certaines sont plus étoffées que d'autres, ce musée aurait besoin d'un petit coup de peps...toutefois, l'exposition sur Bardot etait superbe
