Experience the elegance of a typical day in a Paris town house during the 1700s. Life & Luxury: The Art of Living in Eighteenth-Century Paris re-imagines—through art and material culture—the lifestyle of elite 18th-century Parisians.

Life & Luxury brings together some 160 objects, roughly half of them loans from 26 museums and private collections around the world.
