Objets d'Art
In the floor below the Richelieu Wing is the department of Objets d’Art, applied arts. Here are rooms filled with furniture, vases and jewelry from the time of Napoleon III. Also Renaissance tapestries and some beautiful pieces from the Monastery of Saint-Denis (including the Eagle of Abbot Suger from the mid-12th century) can be admired here. The first floor is devoted to French sculptures from the Middle ages to the late 19th century, the collections from ancient Mesopotamia and to Islamic art.
