…shaggy or tidy, hair has shaped our appearance
- Located in the Louvre and Tuileries districtthe Musée des Arts Décoratifs takes us on a journey of discovery fascinating fresco of social history where more than 600 works are presented to the visitors.
- With so much to see and observe, children will find plenty to satisfy their curiosity!
- Perceived as an attribute of the wild beasthair and hair had to be mastered and tamed in order to be different from the animal
- From the veil covering the head, to the complexity of the braids of the 15th century to the most extravagant hairstyles of the XVIIIe and XIXe century, women's hair fashion is the marker of a certain social belonging ... but in the XXIe century everything changes!
- On the men's sideWhile antiquity banished the athlete's hair, the Renaissance erected moustaches and goatees as a symbol of virile and warlike courage, while the man of the court powdered his face and hid his hair under a wig!
- A vast subject which brings us to the punks, grunges and others "hipsters"of today!
- From wigs to hairpieces, from art to hair know-how to the fashion object established in the Haute-Couture, this fascinating exhibition in Paris questions young and old about the importance given to hair throughout history.
