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.

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.

In autumn 2026, the Kunstpalast will stage a major exhibition dedicated to Düsseldorf artist Winfried Gaul, featuring around 120 paintings and works on paper from the collection donated by Willi Kemp in 2011. Spanning 1955 to 1997, the show offers a wide-ranging survey of Gaul’s practice and highlights the close relationship between the artist and his collector.

What is the world – and what is it made of? Is there something that connects everything? The exhibition looks at the fundamentals of nature and expands the classical theory of the four elements – earth, fire, water and air – by a higher dimension: the fifth element. Around 70 works from the Kemp Collection and the Kunstpalast Collection take on this theme and focuss on the interaction between nature, art and science.
In this guided tour for blind and visually impaired people, we will take you on a journey through the exhibition with exciting stories and tactile experiences of selected objects.

Was ist die Welt und woraus besteht sie? Existiert etwas das alles miteinander verbindet? Das Thema der Ausstellung widmet sich den Grundbausteinen der Natur und erweitert die klassische Theorie der vier Elemente – Erde, Feuer, Wasser und Luft – um eine übergeordnete Dimension: das fünfte Element. Rund 70 Werke aus der Sammlung Kemp und dem Bestand des Kunstpalasts greifen dieses Themenfeld auf und entwickeln es weiter immer mit dem Fokus auf der Wechselwirkung zwischen Natur, Kunst und Wissenschaft. Lernen Sie die ungewöhnlichen Materialien, physikalischen Prozesse und experimentellen Techniken der Künstler*innen kennen und entdecken Sie verschiedenste Ideen und Zusammenhänge.
