MUSEO DE ARTES DECORATIVAS
Go there and contact
Built between 1924 and 1927 in an eclectic style and decorated by Jansen of Paris, the sumptuous residence of Countess Revilla de Camargo was converted into a museum in 1964. Its eight rooms display a wealth of works, most of which come from abroad, mainly France. Beautiful 18th-century furniture by Boudin, Chevalier, Simoneau, Riesener and Chippendale, from the Louis XV and Louis XVI periods, is on display. The ceramics collection includes Sèvres porcelain, oriental porcelain and crystal from Baccarat and Murano. The Art Deco-style bathroom, in pink marble with inlaid bathtub, suggests that the Countess took great pleasure in her toilette... Luxury characterizes the various rooms; the main salon is delicately decorated with gold leaf. In the neoclassical salon, once the Countess's bedroom, you can admire a chest of drawers that was part of Queen Marie-Antoinette's personal furniture (a bust of her adorns the room), as well as a superb hand-woven carpet dating from 1772. The Chinese screen room, the Countess's music salon, is surprisingly magnificent. The Musée des Arts Décoratifs also regularly hosts traveling exhibitions. You won't be chased away if you linger in the superb gardens covered in bougainvillea and vines, and surrounded by statues representing the 4 seasons.
