Louis Vuitton exhibit

So maybe a trip to Paris isn't in your future. You can still take a virtual tour of the Louis Vuitton exhibit on display at the Paris Decorative Arts Museum. The exhibit traces the brand's history from it's origins as the must-have traveling cases for 19th-century elite to it's transition to the 21st century.
