Housed inside the Hôtel Lallemant, the decorative arts museum shows ceramics, glass, ivory, enamels, tapestries, and furniture from the 16th to 19th centuries. The standout is a 17th-century cabinet of curiosities — automata, small bronzes, scientific instruments — assembled in the spirit of a Renaissance prince's collection.
The combination of subject matter and setting is the point: this is exactly the kind of object the Hôtel Lallemant's original owners would have lived among.
