The history of the fragrance
In this special series, the focus lies not only on selected art-historical insights, but above all on shared exchange and personal perceptions. This time, we aim to evoke memories through the sense of smell.

On this short guided tour, we embark on a sensory journey through selected periods and artworks, guided by various scent stations. Natural essences derived from woods and resins point to long routes connecting Asia and Europe. They were used in religion, rituals, medicine, and personal care. Along the way, selected artworks also open up perspectives on trade and structures of power.

The tour invites you to look closely, consciously perceive, and share impressions with each other—and to experience art in a completely different, sensual way.

After the tour, we cordially invite you to continue the conversation in a cozy atmosphere over coffee and cake.

The price includes a slice of cake and a coffee, cappuccino, tea or soft drink of your choice.

This format is aimed at people who would like to enrich their everyday lives through new encounters and who are interested in art. No prior knowledge is required.
