Last weekend we went to the French National Ceramique Museum in Sevres on the outskirts of Paris.
It was on the grounds of the famous Sevres Ceramique Manufactoring plant, which was founded by Louis XV to make fancy smancy pottery for the French Aristocracy. They were having an exhibit of contemporary Japanese pottery, and it included some really wild stuff. It was a good exhibit.
We also went thru their pottery from 1800's, some of the Napolean III era stuff that I've recently taken a liking to. They also had a bunch of Art Nouveau vases that just swept me away.
This brings me to our weekend plans for tomorrow.... After looking at Art Nouveau pottery that was Fancy Smancy, we decided to travel to Nancy. Nancy is a big Art Nouveau center, so we're going to check it out.
