A century after the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, which propelled Art Deco onto the global stage, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs celebrates this bold, refined, and unmistakably modern style. Immersive scenography, sumptuous materials, stylized forms, and exceptional craftsmanship create a vibrant, sensory journey where Art Deco reveals all its facets.
The exhibition opens spectacularly with the legendary Orient Express, a true jewel of luxury and innovation. A cabin from the former Étoile du Nord train, along with three models of the future Orient Express reimagined by Maxime d’Angeac, fill the museum’s nave. It is an invitation to explore a world where art, beauty, and dreams are invented both in the present and as they were in 1925.
The exhibition is overseen by General Curator Bénédicte Gady, Director of the Museums, with Curatorship by Anne Monier Vanryb, Curator of Modern Collections (1910–1960), within a scenography designed by Atelier Jodar and Studio MDA. © MAD PARIS
