Museum of Decorative Arts of Bordeaux
Museum of Decorative Arts of Bordeaux, Design museum in hôtel de Lalande, Bordeaux, France.
The Museum of Decorative Arts occupies an 18th-century mansion with grand staircases, wooden paneling, parquet floors, and marble fireplaces throughout its exhibition spaces.
Built in 1778 by architect Etienne Laclotte for jurist Pierre de Raymond de Lalande, the building transformed from an aristocratic residence into a police headquarters before becoming a museum.
The museum exhibits collections spanning from the Middle Ages through the 18th century, featuring exceptional French ceramics, furniture, and decorative objects from various periods.
Located at 39 rue Bouffard, the museum will remain closed for renovations until 2025, with temporary exhibitions and programs organized across different locations in Bordeaux.
The former prison cells on the property now serve as contemporary exhibition spaces, creating an intersection between historical architecture and modern design presentations.

City of light and stone, Bordeaux tells a piece of French history with every street. From the gilded facades of the 18th century to the redesigned quays along the Garonne, the Gironde capital combines classic elegance with modern dynamism. Strolls can be enjoyed among the columns of the Grand Théâtre, the reflections on the Water Mirror, the streets of Old Bordeaux, and the lively terraces of Saint-Pierre. Here, wine is not just a beverage; it's a culture. The Cité du Vin, museums, and traders remind us that vineyards have shaped the identity of an entire region. Bordeaux is also a forward-looking city, influenced by alternative venues like Darwin, bustling markets, and UNESCO-listed heritage. A city that embodies both tradition and innovation, blending art, cuisine, and river calmness.
