DIE KLEINE ist die Abschlussausstellung des Kunstwettbewerbs für Grundschulen, die seit 2020 stattfindet. The competition is aimed at all elementary school in Düsseldorf and the surrounding area and aims to give young pupils the opportunity to get creative and experience the museum as an extracurricular place of learning.

The children are free to design their works of art and choose the medium – anything is possible, from pictures to collages, objects or photos to films. All submitted works will be presented in the final exhibition.

DIE KLEINE is under the patronage of Mayor Dr. Stephan Keller.

Please note: This workshop will be held in German!

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of fragrance layering! In this special workshop, we will learn how to creatively combine different perfumes and fragrance notes to create your own personal signature scent.
After a brief introduction to the basics of fragrance composition and the most important fragrance families, we will get straight down to trying things out: using high-quality molecular fragrances and selected niche fragrances, we will test various layering techniques and experience how new, individual fragrance worlds open up. We will also receive tips on how to build our own fragrance wardrobe and use it specifically for different moods and occasions.
For optimal conditions, we recommend arriving unscented.

Melina Klinger studied art history and museum studies at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Bonn. She wrote her thesis on olfactory art in the exhibition context and uses her fragrance archive to advise interested parties on fragrance wardrobes.

Inspired by the exhibition, we embark on a sensory journey into the world of fragrances. What does a particular scent evoke in me? How does it influence my perception and my actions? What memories and emotions does it awaken?
In this special workshop, we learn about different fragrance compositions and families and discover how to develop our own fragrance wardrobe. We test which ingredients suit us and how they can be combined with each other.
For optimal conditions, we recommend arriving without perfume.
