A fully illustrated collection of the Designmuseum Danmark's contribution to the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris. At the height of the dynamic "new" style's popularity, the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris offered a platform to the world's recently established museums of decorative arts to celebrate the Art Nouveau on an unprecedented stage.
1900 The Year of Art Nouveau describes how the fledgling Designmuseum Danmark (formerly the Danish Museum of Art & Design) acquired a substantial international collection prior to the festival, with special attention to the local Danish works exhibited in Paris.
