Galerie-Musée Baccarat

Galerie-Musée Baccarat review

Philippe Starck has created a neo-rococo wonderland in the former mansion of the Vicomtesse de Noailles. From the red carpet entrance with a chandelier in a fish tank to the Alchemy room, which was decorated by Gérard Garouste, there's a play of light and movement that makes Baccarat's work, past and present, sing. See items by great designers Georges Chevalier and Ettore Sottsass, services made for princes and maharajahs, and monumental show-off items made for the great exhibitions of the 1800s.
