‘Forgotten’ designer of art nouveau Métro entrances to get Paris museum

Fans say opening of museum honouring Hector Guimard, whose work went out of fashion, will right a historic wrong

The forgotten" designer of Paris's most iconic Metro station entrances and art nouveau buildings is to be given his rightful place in the city's history with a museum dedicated to his work.

Hector Guimard left a distinctive mark across the French capital in the early 1900s, creating elaborate and monumental Metro entrances whose fans of iron and glass resembling unfurled insect wings were nicknamed dragonflies.
