The Time of the boutiques

The Time of the boutiques is, in a way, an extension of the very successful The kitchen, a way of life, exhibition organized by the Fondation pour l'Architecture in 2006.

The reconstituted kitchens of that show allowed visitors to relive the design and evolution of that most important room in the house, the kitchen, from 1900 to today.

Now, visitors are going to be immersed in the experience of window shopping, reliving this unique thrill through the ages. The timeline and themes cover a period of two hundred years, beginning in the 1800s with boutiques built in the First Empire style, through to eBay, the virtual boutique of today.
