TIFFANY IN PARIS

With the holidays on their way, over the next couple of weeks we’ll be posting information about special December events, as well as some practical information travelers will appreciate knowing.

TIFFANY EXHIBIT illuminates the season! Museé du Luxembourg. Through January 17, 2010.

This is a wonderful exhibition that no visitor to Paris should miss. Louis Comfort Tiffany, Couleurs et Lumière (Colors and Light), showcases nearly 160 masterpieces by the famed glass artist (son of the famous jeweler). This is a unique opportunity to view spectacular Tiffany stained glass windows, brought to Paris in pieces and reassembled at the Museum. In addition, vases, lamps, jewels, mosaics, and drawings and watercolors offer an overview of this passionate artist and his huge contribution to the world of decorative arts.
