Exhibition
A fragrant collection! Flacons in all facets
"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 exceptional 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 characterised 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 categorisation of fragrances and ethics in perfume production. Immerse yourself in this exhibition and discover the stories behind the flacons and their fragrances!

Please note the special opening hours of the Couven Museum.
