Educative tour in Paris 20 juillet 2008
Posted by webmaster in : News , trackbackCurrently at Musée des Arts Décoratifs - Napoléon, Symboles des pouvoirs sous l’Empire
A great initiative on the part of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, this exhibition entitled « Napoléon - Symboles des pouvoirs sous l’Empire », presents us with an interesting perspective on the Decorative Arts during the Napoleonic period, their development, role and significance…
Contrary to the ideas of the past, we learn that the ornaments of the Empire are far from being merely symbols of political power. In fact, with 250 objects (furniture, pieces of gold and silver plate, ceramics, textiles, wallpaper, etc.) representing, among other things, the eagle, the butterfly, the crown of flowers, the swan or Psyche, the exhibition encourages us to « put aside our prejudices that are tied to Napoleonic symbols » by broaching the theme of seduction, the other aspect of power. Don’t miss the chance to discover these exceptional pieces which the Musée des Arts Décoratifs has selected from the most prestigious museums of the Paris region. Pure delight.
