No Photos Allowed in this Incredible Museum

El Museo Art Nouveau y Art Déco es en esencia un museo de artes decorativas que propone un recorrido temporal que abarca desde las últimas décadas del siglo XIX hasta la II Guerra Mundial. Este periodo de poco más de sesenta años es sin duda uno de los más fecundos de las artes aplicadas. El grueso de las obras que se pueden ver en el museo son objetos utilitarios concebidos bajo unos cuidados criterios estéticos. Esta dualidad, que los hace muy interesantes como documento de una época y de una manera de vivir, hace que muchos de ellos no hayan llegado hasta nuestros días ya que su uso ha hecho que no hayan perdurado en el tiempo. Destaca la colección de muñecas de porcelana francesas del s. XIX, que ha sido definida por los expertos como la mejor colección expuesta al público a nivel mundial, o la muestra de criselefantinas de Demetre Chiparus o Ferdinand Preiss, pequeñas esculturas que combinan el metal para las vestimentas y el marfil para las partes desnudas del cuerpo.

A Must When in Salamanca
Even if you’re not the museum type, this little gem is well worth the entry fee, if only to see the beautiful building within. The art deco stained glass atrium is stunning & the museum exquisitely laid out & designed. The collection of decorative art is also an easy, undemanding view, with lively paintings (at the time of my visit a fabulous exhibition of works by Toulouse-Lautrec), gorgeous sculptures & an extensive doll collection. Only bum note was that photos aren’t permitted & the security guard was brusque & unwelcoming.

Small but exquisite
The only thing we didn’t get a chance to see was the beautiful stained glass roof. The second floor was closed off, maybe due to COVID-19 restrictions. Anyway the rest of the museum was enjoyable, there were a number of exhibits that we loved and some like the doll collection which were scary in their realism. We spent a couple of hours wandering around, the entrance fee is about 5 euros, so not a lot of money really. I would recommend a visit.
