About Museum of Decorative Arts and Design
In a beautiful 18th-century mansion in the heart of Bordeaux, the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design (madd-bordeaux) is devoted to the art of the object, from the refined craftsmanship of the past to bold contemporary design. Set in the Hôtel de Lalande, whose elegant panelled rooms, courtyard and stables are themselves a showcase of aristocratic 18th-century life, the museum displays fine furniture, ceramics, glass, silverware and objets d'art, alongside a lively programme of contemporary design exhibitions. This dialogue between historic decorative arts and modern creation gives the museum a special character. Elegant, refined and thought-provoking, set within one of Bordeaux's finest townhouses, the madd-bordeaux offers a delightful journey through taste, craft and design across the centuries — a rewarding stop for lovers of beautiful objects in the UNESCO-listed heart of the city.
