Just because we can’t go to the museum or jet set off to Paris right now doesn’t mean the museum can’t come to us. Dior has released a virtual tour of its groundbreaking exhibit at the Musée Des Arts Decoratifs. The exhibit was curated by Florence Müller and Olivier Gabet.
The exhibit takes viewers on a chronological journey through Dior’s designs starting with the eponymous founder himself. The feature video shows everything about the history of Dior from its founding to today. Dior thought it fitting to release this virtual exhibit now while people are quarantined at their homes would be the best time.
'Christian Dior, Designer of Dreams' at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs
The original Dior exhibit at the Musée Des Arts Decoratifs was on view from July 5, 2017 to January 7, 2018. Over seventy years of creation is on display throughout the exhibit featuring different eras of Dior including when Yves Saint Laurent was creative the director of the collection, and who could forget the acclaimed John Galliano era.
The exhibit features accessories, original paintings, iconic haute couture dresses, accessories, and archival photographs. The exhibit is viewable via both YouTube and Instagram TV.
