From Spring to Autumn 2024, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs and the Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine will join forces for a two-part exploration of the inception and evolution of department stores in Paris, tracing their origins from 1852 to the present day.

Join us for a private, guided tour (in English) of the inaugural exhibition, hosted at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, that explores the emergence of department stores against the backdrop of the Second Empire's historical, political, and social milieu. The carefully curated exhibition charts the trajectory from the inception of the department store to its pinnacle, culminating in the recognition of this avant-garde concept at the 1925 International Exhibition of Decorative and Industrial Arts. Commencing with the introduction of such iconic establishments as Le Bon Marché, Les Magasins du Louvre, Le Printemps, La Samaritaine, and Les Galeries Lafayette, the exhibition illuminates the transformative impact of this innovative commercial model and its role in shaping a burgeoning culture of consumerism, notably propelled by women.
