# Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs

> Paris's 1925 Art Deco exposition showcased modernist design to the world and established the aesthetic that would define the interwar era.

## Summary

The International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts was a specialized exhibition held in Paris, France, from April 29 to November 8, 1925. It was designed by the French government to highlight the new modern style of architecture, interior decoration, furniture, glass, jewelry and other decorative arts in Europe and throughout the world. Many ideas of the international avant-garde in the fields of architecture and applied arts were presented for the first time at the exposition. The event took place between the esplanade of Les Invalides and the entrances of the Grand Palais and Petit Palais, and on both banks of the Seine. There were 15,000 exhibitors from twenty countries, and it was visited by over sixteen million people during its six-month run. The modern style presented at the exposition later became known as "Art Deco", after the exposition's name.
