DAY SEVENTEEN of MySexLifeInParis

Visit to the Museum of Decorative Arts

All the time I bitch about museums, but at the end I always turn back to them. In fact can you imagine how boring MySexLifeInParis would be if there were none of these experiences. And museums are not ‘dead places only about objects’, you also meet people in the museum: for example that chubby red faced guy you met at the entrance and you were relived to move on from is your company for the following 50 rooms. Unless of course you don’t slow down and continue the visit with the adorable gay couple that is clearly annoyed by your presence.

Some days I get up and think: what is the point of me visiting them anyway when I as an adopted Florentine know it all. If everything important in the last 1000 years of European art was invented in Florence, what is the point to go around and see less.

Well, you always see something new.

It is not like the first room of the museum will be about Florentine art.

And if it is, which is understandable and just, it can never be first 5 rooms!

Unless we speak about the museum of Decorative Arts in Paris.

From the center of Paris, from the palace of Louvre, we proudly present you – Florence!


In all these Florence rooms there was even some space for Giorgio Schiavone that is Juraj Culinovic that made a full picture. It all makes you feel so superior. In fact, the more inferior one in truth is the more you need and search for the proof of the opposite.
Beautiful Lombard woodwork – intarsia door of 15th century aristocrat's cabinets from their study rooms that were treasuring various scientific and technical gadgets of the time.
Beautiful girl in the mirror admiring fine surfaces of the objects and listening to the audio guide in French, admiring fine sounds of that mysteries language.
The way Napoleon liked his carpet, chair and tapestry.
And his dishes...

A rococo commode… you never know whether to like it or hate it. It is in the domain of your horoscope.

Rococo people liked Chinese people and everything Oriental and Florental and Forestall.

Two beautiful peaces from the twenties:



To finish the day a revitalizing freshly squashed juice of apple, orange and kiwi for the modest price of 7 euros. But, the idea is really good: they have all sorts of fruits and a very powerful mixer so that on the spot they produce these different juices absolutely fresh, tasty and healthy.
