The Musée des arts décoratifs Sabatier d'Espeyran is a decorative arts museum in the centre of Montpellier, in the Occitania region of southern France. It stands on Rue Montpelliéret, at number 6, within easy walking distance of the city's historic core.
What to expect
The museum presents collections of fine and applied arts, the kind of objects that were once part of everyday domestic life and are now shown for their craft and design. Visitors who enjoy decorative arts will find the displays a good way to understand how a French interior was furnished and decorated.
- Setting: a historic French building, so the rooms themselves are part of the experience.
- Collections: fine and applied arts, presented as a decorative arts museum.
- Location: central Montpellier, on Rue Montpelliéret.
Planning your visit
Because the museum is in the middle of the city, it works well as part of a wider day of walking. You can combine it with other stops in central Montpellier, taking in the streets and squares around it before or after your visit. For current opening times, admission and any practical details, check with the museum directly before you go, as these are not covered here.
