There are so many museums in Paris. Besides the well-know ones such as Musée du Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Musée de l'Orangeri, Centre Georges Pompidou...etc. There are lots to discover. I have been visiting museums regularly, but I am far behind on the reflection updates. Anyways, one at a time- Musée des Arts et Métiers, aka Museum of Arts and Crafts.
Ever since The Age of Discovery, and The Industrial revolution. The Western Europe has been considered as the one of the most developed culture in the modern age. The museum of Arts and Crafts is the place to house those inventions throughout the historical movements. I can still recall when I was a teenager, studying world history in Taiwan. I learnt all about those eras through text books, but now I can see the document and collection display in front of me is very thrilling. The experience gave my chills. Without knowing history, it's almost impossible to become a true innovator. So many great things have been created, what is there for us to imagine of? Design is a relatively new concept since modernity. Designers' job is to create object that goes along humanity, or sometimes help people to become a better version of themselves. This is what I believe in.
