Art Nouveau, which was popular mainly in Europe from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, was an art trend that sought a "new style" by breaking away from the decorative styles of the past in order to create a lifestyle suitable for modern living. Accordingly, it flourished in various fields, including architecture, interior design, crafts design, and graphic design. One of the most prominent artists of this period was Emile Gallé (1846-1904), who created richly decorative works inspired by nature in the three fields of ceramics, glassware, and furniture. His works continue to fascinate us today, 120 years after his death.
This exhibition features more than 80 pieces of Gallé's glassware and furniture, including works by his contemporaries, the Dome brothers and Louis Majorelle, as well as other works from the museum's collection and private collections. The exhibition will also explore the background of Galle's work, using Nancy, the city associated with Galle, and Paris as the starting points, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the world of Gallé's decorative beauty. Visitors can also enjoy a stroll through the Emile Gallé's Garden.
