About Museum of the Nancy School
In Nancy, cradle of French Art Nouveau, the Museum of the École de Nancy celebrates one of the most brilliant chapters of decorative art, when the city became a world capital of the flowing, nature-inspired style at the turn of the 20th century. Housed in a beautiful villa of the period surrounded by a garden, the museum displays the exquisite creations of the movement's masters — the iridescent glass of Émile Gallé and the Daum brothers, the sinuous furniture of Louis Majorelle, and stained glass, ceramics and ironwork of astonishing invention, all inspired by plants, flowers and living forms. The elegant interiors themselves evoke a refined Belle Époque home. Beautiful, refined and utterly enchanting, the Museum of the École de Nancy offers a superb immersion in the world of Art Nouveau, an essential stop for lovers of decorative art and design in the Lorraine capital.
