Visited the Harper’s Bazaar exhibition. Picked a quiet time so it was easier to read all the interesting information in addition to viewing all the beautiful clothing and old issues of the magazine. Definitely worth a visit before the exhibition closes in 2021

This museum really is up there with the best Paris has to offer, and I am so glad I discovered it. It is a little confusing to navigate but staff were all friendly in helping me find my way when I got lost!

I spent pretty much the whole day seeing everything, including the two current exhibitions, which were excellent. Jeanne Lanvin's apartment was a real treat, and the jewellery galleries are exquisite. And the "cafe" is so much more than that!…

A conventional museum will display objects out of context - weapons in glass cases or costumes on pedestals - and give no sense of how they were used in real life.

If you would like to experience a Belle Epoque salon or mediaeval bedroom, you will find them here. How about an Art Nouveau bathroom or an Art Deco living room ? In this museum you can travel back in time and have an authentic impression of how people used to live in the past. In addition, the beauty and craftsmanship of the exhibits are exquisite. In my opinion, the most interesting museum in Paris.…
