The scent of trees in the forest, a freshly prepared meal or the perfume someone is wearing: some smells make us happy, others remind us of certain people or places.
In this guided tour, we invite you to experience the history of scent through your sense of smell: embark on a sensory journey through our collection and discover a wide variety of scents from over a thousand years of art and cultural history at 27 scent stations and rooms. Feel free to share your own memories with us. We look forward to hearing your stories and impressions!

A Workshop with Helen Adkins
The main focus of the workshop will be the independent production of art in combination with strategies for securing a stable income. Finance and marketing are closely interlinked. Art is more than a mere commodity and is hardly ever produced for the market. Artists need to create their own demand through individuality and visibility, and have to be constant and patient.

About Helen Adkins:
Dr. Helen Adkins is an independent art historian, curator and artist coach in Berlin. She is interested in the creative process and its mediation as well as in the challenges contemporary artists are facing today.

Please note that this tour will be given in German.

There have always been women artists, but many of them have been forgotten. The exhibition presents 31 selected female artists who were active in Düsseldorf between 1819 and 1919. During this period women not admitted to the art academy. Nevertheless, some of them achieved prominence and fame during their lifetimes. Discover an important chapter of art history that has been overlooked for far too long on this guided tour and learn more about the stories and artworks of selected female artists.
In this guided tour for blind or visually impaired people, we take you on a journey through the exhibition with exciting stories and tactile experiences of selected objects.

In this Open Studio we will go on a scent journey and get creative together. There is no need to register – just drop by.
Why does a fragrance sometimes remind us of our grandmother, a delicious meal, or a holiday? What happens when we smell something? And how can a scent change the way we feel?
Through playful and artistic techniques, we will explore these questions and dive into the world of fragrances. See you at the Palast Studio!

Please Note: This tour will be given in German.

Are you artists? In this exhibition you will see only artworks made by women. They lived and worked between 1819 and 1919. But this was rather difficult in that time: Women were not allowed to attend the Düsseldorf Art Academy. Just imagine not being able to follow your favourite profession. What would you do to follow your dreams? Together we will explore what moved the female artists and get to know them better.

Saturday January 24th at 3 p.m.
Costs: 6 € plus entrance fee

Im Rahmen der Ausstellung freuen wir uns, Prof. Hanns Hatt begrüßen zu dürfen, einen der weltweit führenden Geruchsforscher und Professor für Zellphysiologie an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Er widmet sich seit Jahrzehnten der Erforschung des menschlichen Geruchssinns. Gemeinsam mit seinem Team entdeckte Prof. Hatt, dass Duftrezeptoren auch außerhalb der Nase in allen Zellen des menschlichen Körpers vorhanden sind.
In seinem Vortrag nimmt der promovierte Zoologe, Humanphysiologe und Mediziner uns mit auf eine faszinierende Reise durch die Welt der Düfte: Wie beeinflussen Gerüche unsere Emotionen, Entscheidungen und sogar unsere Gesundheit? Welche Rolle spielen sie in der Zellkommunikation? Und wie lassen sich diese Erkenntnisse für Medizin, Kosmetik und Kultur nutzen?

This workshop is suitable for English and German speaking people.

Still lives are popular motifs in painting. Starting with arranging the objects into a composition, then observing it closely and capturing the scene: This special workshop is suitable for those new to watercolours as well as for those looking to refine their technique.

Surrounded by the artworks in the Kunstpalast, we use the inspiration to create our own fruit arrangements, whilst exploring the beauty of the mundane and the diversity of the shapes and colours of nature. Under the professional guidance of Nima Dibazar, we will start with sketches and build up our creative confidence to paint our own watercolour painting. Enjoy a creative afternoon in a relaxed atmosphere and discover your artistic side.

Nima Dibazar is an architect and watercolour painter who has been recording his own memories of people, places and travels in his sketchbooks. He will introduce you to painting with watercolours and show you how to work free and loose with them.
