Meisenthal glass site
Three different entities connected to the world of glass share this converted abandoned factory: the Musée du Verre, a glass museum featuring a sumptuous collection of Art Nouveau pieces and a room dedicated to glassmaking techniques, the Centre International d'Art Verrier (International Centre for Glass Art) and its ballet of glass blowers, and the Halle Verrière, an industrial "cathedral" that serves as a venue for a varied programme of cultural events.
The Lalique Museum, Wingen-sur-Moder
More than 650 exceptional pieces tell the story of the career of René Lalique and his successors. Old pieces, contemporary creations, Art Nouveau jewellery, perfume bottles and Art Déco glassware - all the aspects of Lalique's genius in a resolutely contemporary setting. Créations anciennes et contemporaines, bijoux Art Nouveau, flacons de parfum en passant par le verre Art Déco…
- all the aspects of Lalique's genius in a resolutely contemporary setting.
