Musée Baccarat, Crystal Museum in Place des États-Unis, Paris, France
The Musée Baccarat is housed in an elegant Parisian mansion and displays a collection of crystal objects including vases, glasses, and lighting pieces. The rooms show how designs and forms of these crystal pieces have evolved from the 1800s to the present day.
Baccarat was founded in 1764 and became one of France's most celebrated crystal manufacturers over the following centuries. The museum opened in 1988 to make this manufacturing heritage and craft tradition accessible to the public.
The collections demonstrate how crystal production methods have been passed down through generations and remain visible in the ways these objects are crafted. Visitors can observe the artisanal techniques that define how each piece is shaped and finished.
The museum is centrally located and easily accessible with wheelchair access throughout. Plan enough time to explore the different rooms and collections at a comfortable pace.
The museum's dining room displays a magnificent crystal place setting with hundreds of glasses and plates arranged together to show a complete table service. This rare collection allows visitors to understand the full scale and complexity of these elaborate table decorations.
