Art nouveau
I am starting today a small series about the MNAC, Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya. The Museum is celebrating it’s 75th anniversary, with an exhibition called ‘Convidats d’Honor’, guest of honor. It’s a kind of best of the museum’s pieces, and it is worth the visit, believe me!
The first piece we want to show you is this wonderful catalan art nouveau dressing table, the finest we’ve ever seen. Wouldn’t you love to have it in your boudoir??? We would! Without the people in the mirror though.
The header, by the way, is another rendition of the museum’s cupola. The best way to see it is to sit down on one of the too comfortable sofas put there for this purpose. Lean back and enjoy, in other words!

Keep up your wonderful project to acquaint us with Catalonia. The photos and obviously the area are marvelous. And they evoke wonder in me as I look at them.

I´m an Art Nouveau fan, I saw a very nice collection at Musée d´Orsay in Paris. My favorites are Alphonse Mucha and Tiffany, I hope to post something about them anytime. I´ll follow the next posts.

Your header is stunning!
The dresser is also stunning. I like looking at it but no, wouldn't want it in my boudoir. Wait a minute, I don't have a boudoir. Well, you get my point.

I imagine the uniqueness of the lady who sat before this table and arranged herself before she went out into the public eye.

C'est… étrange. Ce qui est encore plus étrange, c'est qu'en définitive j'aime bien. Et c'est un beau travail.
