On 1 July 2011 there will be the official inauguration of the first museum French entirely dedicated to the great master Renè Lalique. We are talking about the museum conceived and designed by the architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte and built in Wingen Sur Moder, a French region of glassmaking tradition where Renè Lalique opened his first furnace and where, for over 90 years, the extraordinary Lalique products have been made.
The opening of the new one is scheduled for 1 July 2011 museum French dedicated to the creativity and craftsmanship of Renè Lalique.
Designed by the architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, the museum is characterized by over 900 square meters of exhibition area with a high-impact scenography designed to accommodate more than 550 products including drawings, jewels, bottles, tables, lamps, vases and much more.
The museum was designed with the idea of trying to set the various works in their historical, social or technical context through important testimonies relating to historical and literary friendships and the eclectic clientele of the Maison.
The result is a multi-sensory path that develops through the themes dear to the artist, flora, fauna and the female figure, and which seeks to recreate the atmospheres that accompanied the creation of the greatest signed masterpieces. Lalique including that of the Exposition Universelle of 1900 and of the Arts Dècoratifs et Industriels Modernes of 1925.
The same architectural project aims to underline the importance of the natural landscape as the source of inspiration for Renèè Lalique through the choice of materials, volumes and gardens that are perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment.
