Museo de Art Nouveau y Art Déco, Decorative arts museum in Salamanca, Spain
The Museo de Art Nouveau y Art Déco sits in a glass and iron building from 1905 and displays nineteen collections of decorative arts across twenty exhibition spaces. The rooms flow together to let you see works ranging from jewelry to porcelain and glass in a connected sequence.
The original residence was built in 1905 as a private home and was later transformed into a museum that opened in 1995. The conversion allowed a large private collection of decorative arts to become available to the public.
The collection shows European decorative arts from various workshops and manufactures that still reflect the craftsmanship of that era. You can find works by renowned artists and makers who shaped the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements.
Visitors should keep in mind that stairs between levels are narrow and some rooms have limited space, which slows down the tour. It helps to allow time to explore all the collections without rushing.
The atrium features a ceiling made from more than 2.000 colored glass pieces that creates a striking visual experience. This glass canopy is one of the building's most distinctive features and should not be missed.
