Abgesagt | Eine dufte Sammlung! Flakons in allen Facetten

In the organizer's words:

"The world of perfume bottles" - an exhibition that seduces.

The exhibition presents an exquisite selection from Ilse Sommer's impressive private collection of various miniature perfume bottles, which comprises over 3,000 extraordinary examples.

The objects on display provide fascinating insights into the artistic design of the flacons and show how they developed over time into symbols of luxury, seduction and cultural wealth. Originally intended as simple storage containers, they became true works of art that not only shaped the brand identity but also the history of the perfume industry. But the focus is not only on beauty - there is also room for critical questions: from racist motifs in bottle designs to the gender classification of fragrances and ethics in perfume production. Immerse yourself in our exhibition and discover the stories behind the bottles and their fragrances!
