Reflecting the fact that Christian Dior was also a knowledgeable art lover who adored museums, designs from over 70 years interact with a selection of paintings, furniture and objets d’art.
In addition to displaying Christian Dior’s works and thoughts, the works of his successors such as Yves Saint Laurent, Raf Simons, John Galliano and current creative director Maria Grazia Chirui are also featured.
