It will kick off with the exhibition “Echoes of Art Deco” at the Villa Empain in Brussels, a thematic show exploring the social and cultural history of Art Deco in Brussels with exhibits ranging from period furniture and drawings to ceramics, woodwork, ironwork, and examples of stained glass. Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris March 12 to June 8, 2025 The Musée des Arts Décoratifs has planned an entire year of celebrations for the centennial of the 1925 Paris exhibition starting with a reinstallation of its Art Deco collections and a small display devoted to the 1925 exhibition. The first major show is a tribute to Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann, the Parisian designer and decorator who perhaps more than anyone helped shape and popularize Art Deco. His historical drawings, wallpapers, models for interiors, and archival photographs from the museum’s collections make up the exhibition including twenty-six sketchbooks donated to the museum in 1959.
