In decoration, many different styles were borrowed and used by Art Deco. They included pre-modern art from around the world and observable at the {{lang|fr|[[Musée du Louvre]]|italic=no}}, [[Musée de l'Homme]] and the [[Musée national des Arts d'Afrique et d'Océanie]]. There was also popular interest in archaeology due to excavations at [[Pompeii]], [[Troy]], and the tomb of the 18th dynasty Pharaoh [[Tutankhamun]]. Artists and designers integrated motifs from [[ancient Egypt]], [[Africa]], [[Mesopotamia]], [[Ancient Greece|Greece]], [[Ancient Rome|Rome]], Asia, [[Mesoamerica]] and Oceania with [[Machine Age]] elements.<ref name="Art Deco Style">{{cite web |url=http://arthistory.heindorffhus.dk/frame-Style21-ArtDeco.htm |title=Art Deco Style |publisher=Museum of London |access-date=6 November 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080207022236/http://arthistory.heindorffhus.dk/frame-Style21-ArtDeco.htm |archive-date=7 February 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="Essential Art Deco">{{cite book |last=Wood |first=Ghislaine |title=Essential Art Deco |publisher=VA&A Publications |location=London |isbn=0-8212-2833-1 |year=2003 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/essentialartdeco00wood }}</ref><ref name="Design: A Concise History">{{cite book |last=Hauffe |first=Thomas |title=Design: A Concise History |publisher=Laurence King |location=London |year=1998 |edition=1 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vam.ac.uk/nal/guides/art_deco/index.html |title=Art Deco Study Guide |publisher=Victoria and Albert Museum |access-date=1 November 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081025210428/http://www.vam.ac.uk/nal/guides/art_deco/index.html |archive-date=25 October 2008 |url-status = live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.decopix.com/New%20Site/Pages/Directory%20Pages/Intro.html |title=Introduction to Art Deco |last=Juster |first=Randy |publisher=decopix.com |access-date=7 November 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081029202446/http://www.decopix.com/New%20Site/Pages/Directory%20Pages/Intro.html |archive-date=29 October 2008 |url-status = dead }}</ref><ref name="University Times">{{cite journal |date=9 October 2003 |title=How Art Deco came to be |journal=University Times | publisher=University of Pittsburgh |volume=36 |issue=4 }}</ref>
