Comments on: A visit to the Museum of Decorative Arts (Musée des Arts Décoratifs) http://myparisyourparis.com/?p=3 A personal guide to the best of the city's culture and history Tue, 24 Aug 2010 18:41:18 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Jeff http://myparisyourparis.com/?p=3&cpage=1#comment-1243 Jeff Tue, 14 Jul 2009 18:28:45 +0000 http://myparisyourparis.com/?p=3#comment-1243 For anyone who appreciates ornamentation (in my case, painted decoration), a visit to this museum is a must. Photos are allowed without flash. I have been inside this museum twice. It is great. There is something for everyone. Younger folks will be bored stiff, however. My personal favorite is the oval-esque shaped playful ceiling form the Hotel de Verrue...however the creatures within the design are not apes (as described by this blog's well-meaning author)..but tiny graceful monkeys (perhaps Capuchin monkeys) and a variety of lovely birds and butterflies. One can almost miss this ceiling if one is not careful. For anyone who appreciates ornamentation (in my case, painted decoration), a visit to this museum is a must. Photos are allowed without flash.

I’ve provided what is probably an overly detailed account on My Paris Your Paris.
