The museums are followed by a list of stars that range from 0 up to 3. The more stars there are, the better the museum is (only regarding the Art Nouveau topic of course). Different qualities are evaluated : quantity of Art Nouveau pieces, quality of Art Nouveau pieces and finally quality of the exhibition. Concerning the last item, museums that restore original and complete AN rooms are granted 3 stars, those showing only one object separated from the others are not granted at all as it is meaningless in an Art that aims to be total.)
So far, I have identified 203 museums displaying AN objects. Please be patient during loading
The museums are sorted by countries and then by towns

"Der Zeit ihre Kunst, Der Kunst ihre Freiheit." This moto written on the walls of this building summarise the spirit of Art Nouveau and Jugendstil in their struggle against historicism. It has been destroyed during world war II and restored in 1985-86. Built in 1898 by Olbrich, it has a wonderful golden tree leave dome. Don't miss inside the Beethoven Frieze by Klimt and an exhibition about the buiding and its restauration. |

The collection contains some Art Nouveau silver : some silver from the Wolfers house that either heralded art nouveau or had already been forged in this style, a tea set in which the milk jug, sugar bowl, water kettle and teapot were illustrations of how the Wolfers house developed the Maraudeur service and a sauce boat (1903) designed by Henry Van de Velde. |

| Maison Autrique |
Restored in 2004 and open to public on december the 2nd, the house Autrique was built by the most famous belgian Art Nouveau architect : Victor Horta. Inside was re-designed after Peeter and Schuiten ideas. The outside is more Art Nouveau than the inside : see only the ground floor tiles. If you come to see Art Nouveau, you 'd better choose an other museum. |

| Musée de la photographie |
Built for Hannon in Art Nouveau style, the building was decorated and furnished by the Nancean famous artists : Louis Majorelle and Emile Gallé. Some part of the decoration still remains. Don't miss the "owl house" at the corner of on avenue Brugmann near rue de la Jonction. |
| Musée des instruments de musique |
Built in 1899 as "Old England" departement store, the settlement project of a Music Museum was conducted together with a restoration in its original Art Nouveau state. Anyone visiting should allow at least a half day! The museum is interesting (but there are no Art Nouveau music instruments ;-)), and the building is wonderful! Beautifully restored, now housing the museum, a library about musical instruments, a concert hall and a restaurant on the top floor and roof. Also a display about the building of the original building, showing original drawings, about the restoration project and other work of the architect Paul Saintenoy. Well worth a visit. |
| Musée Horta |
It is Horta's house as it was a 100 years ago. Absolutly marvellous. The museum website has some beautiful pictures of the house and collections. |

A must. The house is not Art Nouveau in itself. Outside, there is a garden where you can find plants that influenced the Nancy Art Nouveau design. Inside, each room has been reconstructed with original furniture by the most wellknown artists of Nancy. Every room is a marvel in itself and the whole let you have a good feeling of that time. |

| Le musée Art Nouveau de Paris - Maxim's |
Pierre Cardin's 1900 collection. Visible under guided tour or diner. The web site is not frequently updated. In 2011, the last time I went there, there were 3 guided tours a day from Wednesday to Sunday and also the possibility to have a joint guided tour + diner but only under reservation. I would suggest to book by phone as the web site is not always up to date. And there should be someone to answer the phone either a few minutes before the start of the guided tours or in the evening when the restaurant is open. More than 550 Art Nouveau objects mainly French Art Nouveau (furniture by Majorelle, Vallin, Gaillard, Bénouville, drawings by Toulouse Lautrec) but also many lamps by Tiffany. There a few outstanding pieces but compared with the Musée d'Orsay the museum do not reach the same quality. In my opinion, the most interesting piece is the restaurant and the attached bars with a wonderful and complete original design by Marnez inspired by horse chestnut tree leaves that has been conserved over the years. |
| Musée Carnavalet |
Two AN rooms are reconstructed as they were, for our great pleasure. The first one is the cafe de Paris by Sauvage and Majorelle and the second is he jewellery "Fouquet" by Alfons Mucha. Warning : I recently heard that these two rooms were closed on afternoons. You'd better call the museum before you come. |
| Musée des Arts Décoratifs |
The AN masterpiece of this museum is the bedroom of the Hotel Nozal by Guimard in 1903 and a room by Majorelle including a piano and also a dining room by Gallé. Nearly only French AN work jewellery, glass work, furniture, metal work (Lalique, Gallé, ...). The only non French artist that is represented significantly is Louis Comfort Tiffany. |
| Musée d'Orsay |
Lots of different objects from French and Belgian Art Nouveau (furniture, stain glass, vases...). Some isolated works from Glasgow, Germany, Wien (including Thonet works). Lack of historical reconstruction. |

Situated in an old factory built by Puig i Cadafalch, one of the finest Art Nouveau architects of Barcelona, this center welcomes exhibitions, can be visited and hosts a permanent collection about the history of the building. |
| Casa Museu Gaudi |
Gaudi lived there between 1906 and 1925. Located in the magnificent park Guell, the most interesting things are outside and free. Unfortunately the furniture on display in the museum was not designed for this building. Knowing how Gaudi designs everything to the very detail it leaves us on our hunger. If you don't have time, you may be wise to visit the other buildings by Gaudi instead. |

the collection excels in Art Nouveau and Art Deco, with medals, lamps, fabrics, furniture and statuettes - including a fine series of semi-nude girls of French and German origin in bronze and ivory of the sort so often reproduced for table lamps. Some of the best lamps are in room containing the fashion collection. There is representative work from Liberty's, Wedgwood, and exhibition vases by Louis Marc Solon for Mintons in the extensive porcelain collection. The museum also includes preraphaelit paintings. |

Two parts: the museum in itself is very messy concerning the Art Nouveau topic: all the objects are mixed together. The Art&Crafts period is well represented. The Henry Cole wing with works of Frank Lloyd Wright and a recontruction of one room. As for me, the FLW wing is the best part of this Museum, as far as Art Nouveau is concerned. |

The Art Nouveau collection at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts is the largest in scope and the highest in quality of any art institution in the United States. New creations of style, technique and attitude can be seen in the brilliant flowers of a Tiffany Wisteria lamp, the elegance of a Ruhlmann desk or a window created by Frank Lloyd Wright. Two connoisseurs, Sydney and Frances Lewis of Richmond, assembled the collection and gave it to the musuem. The objects functioned as part of their household décor and they made it their passion to obtain excellent works. (Contributed by Don Dale - Virginia Museum of Fine Arts) |
