Art Nouveau of France was a short yet intense movement that struck Europe and the world from 1890 to 1910s and it emphasized art in everyday life. It naturally penetrated craft and architecture and attempted to bring art into everyday day through paintings and decorative art, such as furniture, glass craft, jewelry, stained glass, and posters. The Art Nouveau style inspired by nature is characterized by smooth, flexible curves that remind you of plants, such as vines and ivy.
'Yumin Art Nouveau Museum' exhibits the representative pieces of Ecole de Nancy’s glass craft that boasts both technical and aesthetic values.
