Located
within
the
Louvre
area
but
operating
as
a
separate
museum,
the
Musee
des
Art
Decoratifs
(Decorative
Arts
Museum)
offers
a
miscellaneous
collection
of
arts
and
craft
items,
from
cabinetry
to
tapestries,
ornamental
vases
and
paintings...including
a
post-modern
section
of
furniture
and
homewares...it
is
truly
quite
ecclectic
and
and
nice
change
of
pace
from
all
the
other
fine
arts
museums
in
the
area.
It
was
not
busy
(which
is
a
nice
break
from
the
hectic
scene
at
the
Louvre
or
D'Orsay)
and
is
relatively
easy
to
navigate
just
note
that
the
more
modern
offerings
are
towards
the
rear
of
the
museum
and
on
high
levels.
At
the
entrance
turn
to
the
right
and
walk
up
the
main
stair
case
then
do
floor
by
floor.
On
the
opposite
side
of
the
long
hall
from
where
you
enter
you
need
to
take
the
elevator
to
the
upper
floors
to
see
the
more
modern
collection.
TIME
TO
DO:
You
could
rush-walk
the
museum
in
an
hour
but
I
would
budget
90-120
minutes
to
get
the
full
experience.
Also
there
are
some
nice
views
of
the
right
bank
looking
onto
the
left
bank
including
a
distant
view
of
the
Eiffel
tower...see
photos
for
examples.
Enjoy!
