musee lalique

My wife and I visited the Musee Lalique-besides seeing the manner and form that an end product goes through the museum with its jewellery and crystal ojects and historical photo shows is an absolute must do if in the are or even travelling to if close by-interesting in the extreme and this comes from your hotdog and rugby type fan-so believe me when I say this is an interesting and educational visit and something well worth doing

Always wanted to come here- it was beautiful- the glass, the jewelry- all of it! Very classy shop was impossible to resist.

I visited the Lalique museum early in its development. It's truly a wonderful place to see all (or most) of the work of M. R Lalique.He was a very prolific artisan first in jewelry and then of course in glass. He produced a total of 30 glass car mascots formed out of his love of all things from nature & life. Woderfull animals, birds, insects and of course sumpteous nude females!.. Only a few of these *Bouchons de radiateur-mascottes are on display.- It's a shame the public are not admitted to the near by factory for obvious health & safety reasons.-*See them all on the club website at: www.brmmbrmm.com/lbcc.bband also for sale on: www.uniquelaliquemascots.co.uk

Beautiful museum tucked away in the Northern Vosges dedicated to the surprisingly influential Rene Lalique and his family business.I'd heard of Lalique's jewellery design before but was completely unaware of his glasswork -- and the fact that he pioneered the branded perfume bottle -- therefore being one of the pioneers of modern marketing.The exhibits in the museum are astoundingly beautifully crafted and the layout of the building is accordingly tasteful and impressive -- with most captions in French, German and English. There are some fascinating video presentations towards the end showing how this ornate glass and crystal work is still produced in the company's factory.The shop sells some marvellous gifts, handmade in the factory. A lovely museum in a very peaceful spot -- well worth the drive to get there.

Wingen-sur-Moder is not really on the way to any tourist destination - exception of course Strasbourg, But it is worthwhile to go. The Musee Lalique (Museum of the founder of the glass and cristal production René Lalique) is a beauty not to be missed. Even people that are not interested in glass should have a look: Art Nouveau jewellery at its finest (that's how René started), glass perfume "flacons" for all big brands, from 1920s to nowadays, vases, lamps, table ware in all rainbow colours, and always: nature, the female, flowers, twigs, birds and fish. Personnel is extremely nice and: You are allowed to take pictures (without flash). That should be an example for all museums! The entrance is moderate, with special family cards available!

We came across this Museum by accident when we saw it mentioned on a road sign and decided to make a visit. About 40 minutes later, following a long diversion for road works, we arrived. It was well worth the journey! The permanent exhibition was excellent and the temporary exhibition (the Aquatic World of Lalique) was, if anything, even better. We saw some of the most beautiful pieces of jewellery and glassware that we have only seen in photographs before. The information boards, interactive screens and films of the manufacturing process were comprehensive and added considerably to the experience. This is one of the best museums we have been to in many years. Wingen-sur-Moder is somewhat off the beaten track but we will certainly try and return one day. (The cafe next door is also worth a visit.)

We took a two hour drive into the country to visit this Musee…and we were beyond thrilled that we arrived to visit this magnificent creation displaying Rene Lalique and his family's creations. Absolutely adventure to here to enjoy not only the beauty of the grounds and the building itself but Mr. Lalique's beautiful artistic creations.

My favorite part was the movie showing how some of their pieces are manufactured. I was amazed !!!! There is a garden, but I expected more of this attraction. Anyway, for the Lalique lover´s, it is a great chance to more of his work.

I included this museum in a tour to Strasbourg which I organised for 23 members of our local U3A group. It is a delightful museum set in a garden with a very pleasant cafe/restaurant attached. It is very well laid out with helpful staff. I was surprised that all of our group enjoyed the visit - it seems to have something for everyone!A bonus is that it is set in a small village within a regional park so it is a very enjoyable drive also.The jewellery exhibits are quite beautiful and there are some, of course, some superb pieces of glass on display as well as a good overview of the life and work of Lalique.The items on sale are expensive but the postcards are a delight and very reasonable.

The museum has an adequate parking place and is accessible for the handicapped. Tickets are on the cheap side, especially for the quality offered, but we found most items in the museum shop way beyond budget - maximum observed was €1200, median around €100. Moreover, the items are reproducible. Real antiques may at times be cheaper.The collection is of very high quality and a supreme treat for Lalique and art nouveau lovers. It is well laid out, following Lalique's career from jeweller to manufacturer of tasteful mass-produced goods by concentrating on character and techniques. This makes the museum of interest to broader groups, e.g. those interested in glass manufacturing, marketing of luxury products and industrial design. The lighting of the items is superb, yet simple. Some big items, like door panels, are represented with good fun lighted photos. The items should be observed from close by. The detail is fantastic and that includes sides not meant to be seen, like the back of clothes jewellery. The story is told in French, German and English.

This magnificent collection of works by Rene Lalique and his glass artists, in situated in a village where he had a factory. Much of his raw material was from the area, and many glass workers were from this region. The exhibits are beautifully displayed in a modern setting.

The Musée Lalique is a hidden treasure well worth a visit. It is about a 1 ½ hour drive from Nancy, located in a little village in the Alsace region. The museum has a wonderful collection of Rene Lalique jewelry and glass, all very well-presented in spacious dark rooms with wonderful lighting emphasizing the collection. Video screens showing the glass casting process are interesting. The museum shop offers a wonderful selection of perfumes, decorative art, jewelry, cards and books—I could’ve spent a fortune there! Next to the museum is a little tea house, nice place to have a drink and a little snack after visiting the museum. This museum isn’t well-known at all, but it should be. It’s a bit out of the way, but certainly worth a visit, especially if you admire the exquisite craftsmanship and design of the Art Deco and Art Nouveau era by one of the best glass and jewelry artists of that period. Highly recommended!
