Industry and Commerce Chamber of Nancy
The industry and commerce chamber of Nancy is a beautiful example of the buildings built in this city before the first world war in the style of "art nouveau" (jugendStil in German). Other cities where this style was developed during the same period in time are Vienna, Brussels, and Barcelona. A nice account of this specific house can be found in Wikipedia:
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chambre_de_commerce_et_d%27industrie_Grand_Nancy_M%C3%A9tropole_Meurthe-et-Moselle
At this moment, the house welcomes a special exhibition dedicated to the glasses, crystals and pieces of art related to the same period and which were produced in a glass factory that has now disappeared, but was a signature of the "art nouveau" style. The exhibition is organised by Francis d'Alascio, an academician of ALS. Live streamed videos of Dr. Kongolis visit to the Commerce Chamber can be seen below:
