Musée des Tissus et des Arts Décoratifs de Lyon

A day after visiting the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon, I went to visit the museum of cloth and furniture of Lyon, Musée des Tissus et des Arts Décoratifs de Lyon. This museum was a mixture of cool and funky furniture and the history of cloth and clothing in Europe. I really enjoyed this museum since it was such a large change from the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon. Unfortunately, I was unable to take many pictures since they did not allow pictures since many of the pieces were up for sale. I did catch some shots of some interesting looking chairs and dresses!

Outside of the museum, there were various chairs  and seats made from different materials up for sale. They were absolutely gorgeous.
These are a few of the students trying out the various chairs. They were all made of different materials.

This was an awesome display of seats and chairs. These were all for sale. I love how creative the museum was in displaying the chairs.
The material used to make this piece of clothing was absolutely gorgeous. I can't recall what era this was from though.

If I am correct, this was a dress used to go spend some time outdoors. 

A lot of these dressed looked like they were made for children and not fully grown and developed women.

For once, an 18th century dress that could possibly fit me.

If only I could force my waist to be that small, I'm sure it would crack a rib though.
