Art Nouveau – Art Deco. Marseille at the Heart of the Styles

From May 8, 2026 to April 25, 2027

 

The Château Borély – Museum of Decorative Arts, Faience and Fashion presents Art Nouveau – Art Deco: Marseille at the Heart of the Styles, an exhibition spanning the period from 1889 to 1937, from the naturalistic curves of the Belle Époque to the geometric lines of modernism.

Bringing together nearly 300 works, the exhibition highlights both the correspondences and the ruptures between these two major aesthetics, while revealing the role of Marseille—as a Mediterranean crossroads—in the dissemination and reinvention of the decorative arts. Exceptional loans from prestigious institutions such as the Manufactures nationales, Sèvres & Mobilier national, the Musée d’Orsay, as well as Chanel and the Azzedine Alaïa Foundation, enrich the presentation alongside previously unseen works from the City of Marseille’s museum collections.
