Starting October 21, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs revisits the landmark 1925 Paris exhibition that defined Art Deco, offering an essential look at the style’s lasting influence and contemporary relevance.
In 1925, Paris hosted the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, a showcase that crystallized a new aesthetic: Art Deco. A century later, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (MAD) revisits this pivotal moment with “1925–2025. One Hundred Years of Art Deco,” opening on October 21, 2025.
The exhibition explores the movement’s evolution from its origins to contemporary interpretations. Visitors can expect a curated selection of works that highlight Art Deco’s impact on design, architecture, and fashion. Pieces by notable figures such as Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann and Edgar Brandt are featured, illustrating the movement’s emphasis on craftsmanship and modernity.
Curated by Bénédicte Gady and Anne Monier Vanryb, the exhibition aims to provide insight into the diverse expressions of Art Deco. The presentation underscores the style’s adaptability and its resonance with contemporary design sensibilities.
“1925–2025. One Hundred Years of Art Deco” runs through February 22, 2026, offering a comprehensive look at a style that continues to influence the visual landscape.
