Le Musée de l'Ecole de Nancy, 36-38, rue du Sergeant Blandy. Art Nouveau house museum located about 30 minutes on foot from the center of town. Stunning collection of Art Nouveau furniture, none of it original to the house, in a house donated by a local businessman. There are a number of important pieces designed by Louis Majorelle and Emile Gallé. There are a number of glass pieces, mostly by Gallé.
Art Nouveau architecture can be found in the modern downtown area, one end of which is place Stanislas, where many commercial buildings, which are about 100 years old, still stand and are in use. Many houses are scattered in the residential areas on the other side of the train station. The Tourist Office can give you a brochure with a good map for walking tours.
There is a large collection of Daum Nancy art glass in the basement of the Nancy Art Museum.
