Around the famous trunks and luggage gathered for the first time in Carnavalet museum, we discover a magnificent setting about the saga of Louis Vuitton embodying the art of traveling for over 150 years. Pieces owned by the museum’s collections or loaned by the National Library of France, the Art Decorative museum and the History Library of Paris city, linked the famous trunk-maker to the cultural and artistic history of the capital.
