Another Art Nouveau gem is the Musée de l’École de Nancy, which contains lots of lovely stuff, including an entire dining room with walls, ceiling and furniture, and loads of gorgeous stained glass.
Visited the town of Nancy today for an Art Nouveau fix. The beautiful Villa Majorelle was the home of architect #LouisMajorelle and is supremely stylish inside and out.

Or if you don’t want to look at little surrealist guys, check out these BIG LADS by Judit Reigl. Absolute units, couldn’t stop giggling at them.
Enjoyed the #Surrealism show at the Centre Pompidou today (see Instagram for more pics). Here are some little guys I spotted there: the cutest Anubis ever by Yahne Le Toumelin; birdy boi by Reuben Mednikoff; small bean by Max Ernst; even smaller bean by Yves Tanguy.
