Origin and history
The Baccarat Museum was a Parisian exhibition space dedicated to the emblematic pieces of Baccarat crystals, founded in Lorraine. Located in the 16th arrondissement of the United States, since 2003, he occupied a former mansion owned by Marie-Laure de Noailles. This place, entirely redesigned by designer Philippe Starck, enhanced exceptional craftsmanship and French glassmaking know-how through historical and contemporary collections.
Prior to its transfer in this prestigious setting, the museum was located between 1992 and 2003 at numbers 30 and 30bis of the rue de Paradis, in the 10th arrondissement. These premises once housed a bronze depot and workshop of the Baccarat house, testifying to its industrial anchoring in Paris. Despite its cultural influence, the museum closed its doors in December 2023, marking the end of an era for lovers of crystal and artisanal heritage.
The Baccarat Crystalry, founded in the 18th century in Lorraine, is inseparable from luxury to French. The Parisian museum played a key role in valuing this heritage, exposing rare pieces and collaborations with contemporary artists or designers. His installation in the Hôtel de Marie-Laure de Noailles, an emblematic figure of patronage and artistic avant-garde in the 20th century, reinforced this dialogue between tradition and modernity.
