The Villa Majorelle – Art Nouveau Museum in Nancy, France
The Villa Majorelle is a celebrated example of Art Nouveau architecture and design, located in Nancy, France. Originally built between 1901 and 1902 as a private residence for the prominent furniture designer Louis Majorelle, the villa was conceived as a total work of art—un œuvre d'art total—integrating architecture, interior design, and decorative arts into a unified aesthetic vision. It stands today not only as a historic home but also as a museum dedicated to the Art Nouveau movement.
Villa Majorelle is a cornerstone of the École de Nancy, a group of artists and designers who championed Art Nouveau in Lorraine at the turn of the 20th century.
Today, the Villa Majorelle operates under the auspices of the Nancy Museum of Fine Arts and serves as both a historic monument and an immersive experience in early modern design. It stands as a testament to the creativity and innovation of the Art Nouveau era and continues to inspire artists, architects, and design enthusiasts from around the world.
