No Art Déco retrospective is complete without Lalique's work, but this is the first time that more than 550 of his pieces, including drawings, jewellery, perfume bottles, tableware, lights and vases, are on display together. However, the museum doesn't just present the creations as pretty objects, but rather puts them into a historical context and sheds light on the technical aspect of glass-making.

It is only fitting that the designs, which were very modern for their time, are presented in a modern setting. Quite appropriately, the museum design itself features ample amounts of glass, natural light and even a flower garden showcasing the natural inspiration of the floral motifs so prominent in many of Lalique's beautiful pieces.
