1900 Maxim's Collection Museum
Pierre Cardin owner since 1981 of Maxim’s restaurant, a symbol for Art Nouveau, has collected over 60 years the most characteristic masterworks from the Belle Epoch.
More than 550 pieces from all over the world, signed by the most prestigious creators such as Majorelle, Tiffany, Gallé, Massier… are finally available to the public. Pierre Cardin has recreated the apartment of a celebrated courtesan on three floors of his building which is now classed historic monument.
It’s partly because of its ladies that Maxim’s is now a part of Paris’ history — Princes, Kings, Dukes, Ministers and the creme of international high society frequented the restaurant at the height of its glory.
The visits are organised under the direction of the art historian Pierre André Hélène, and are commented by himself or one of his close collaborators.
