A wonderful 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 includes over 3,000 exceptional examples.

The objects shown provide fascinating insights into the artistic design of the bottles and show how they developed over time into symbols of luxury, guided guided tour 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 just on beauty - critical questions are also addressed: from racist motifs in bottle designs to the gender classification of scents and the ethics of perfume production. Immerse yourself in this exhibition and discover the stories behind the bottles and their scents!

Please note the special opening hours of the Couven Museum.
