Musée de la Légion d'Honneur: The Foreign Orders

111
The museum of the Legion of Honnor in Paris has an amazing collection of every possible order of the world, one shinier than the other. The glitzy bling is kept in large drawers that visitiors can open to take a closer look at the pieces. It alsmot feels like the Galerie des Bijoux inside the museum of decorative arts, but with more emphasis on the monumentality of these little artpieces.
