A Day in the 18th Century: Chronicle of a Townhouse

From dawn, the staff is active behind the scenes as the aristocracy wakes up in opulent salons. The Musée des Arts décoratifs reconstructs the bustling life of a prestigious mansion, capturing every moment from sunrise to sunset. This unique journey goes beyond the opulence: it sheds light on social interactions, the invisible work of domestic servants, and the surprising presence of pets in the intimate settings of homes. From toilet rituals to grand dinners, this living scenography makes palpable the daily life of the Age of Enlightenment. It is a rare opportunity to observe the underside of the decor of a world where luxury and servitude coexisted under one roof. To be admired from February 18th to July 5th, 2026.
