Museum of Decorative Arts
(Les Arts Decoratifs)

I travelled from London to Paris especially to visit “La Mode en Majesté: Royal Thai Dress from Tradition to Modernity” at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. My main purpose was to see the exquisite royal costumes of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother. It was absolutely worth the journey. The exhibition was beautifully presented, elegant, and deeply impressive. I was truly moved by the craftsmanship, the fabrics, the details, and the way Thai heritage was showcased on an international stage. A very memorable and meaningful experience — highly recommended for anyone interested in fashion, art, royal history, and Thai culture.

Without a doubt, my favorite museum in Paris. I’ve returned countless times over the past two years, and every special exhibition has been exceptional. The museum beautifully brings together fashion, art, furniture, decorative arts, and industrial design, creating an endlessly inspiring experience. No matter how many times I visit, I always leave with new ideas and a deeper appreciation for creativity. A place I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone visiting Paris.

Wonderful museum of decorative arts that we thoroughly enjoyed. An abundance of beautiful objects d'art of stunning quality and high level of craftsmanship, intricate jewellery, furniture, clothing, you can see what rooms looked like during various epochs. The entrance is from the busy street side, not the park side in case you get lost like we did.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. I completely underestimated the sheer scale of this museum—it actually spans nine floors, a detail I think many visitors overlook before arriving. While my primary reason for going was to see the permanent jewelry collection, I ended up exploring several other exhibits. A major highlight was the temporary exhibition on Thai royal fashion. It offered an eye-opening look at traditional ceremonial attire and the exquisite jewelry worn for specific cultural events. I highly recommend adding this to your Paris itinerary, but go in with a plan. Expect to spend a solid 3 to 4 hours here if you want to take it all in. The layout can also feel a bit like a labyrinth, making it very easy to lose your bearings. If you are visiting with family or children, definitely establish a meeting point or keep a way to stay in touch, as it is incredibly easy to get separated.
