In collaboration with MAVIVE

A selection from the Storp Collection will be presented to enhance the section devoted to perfume, which has amplified the permanent exhibition itinerary of the Museo di Palazzo Mocenigo for over a decade.

An aesthetic and historical overview of the most significant perfume bottles will address and explore different themes. They range from the creativity unleashed over the centuries to evocatively identify the qualities of the essential accessory, namely perfume, to the use of new and precious materials to give an original form to the container.

All this together with the use of essences and their identification among the most precious goods traded first on the Mediterranean routes and then across the oceans.
The museum will conduct an accurate historical-cultural investigation of perfume, bringing together the multiple implications reverberating above all from the wonderful micro-caskets, the expression of virtuoso craft skills that have always expressed the aesthetic tastes of every age.

This important project reflects the continuity of the prestigious collaboration with MAVIVE, with which the Fondazione Musei Civici has long organised joint initiatives on the theme of perfume.

Admission to the exhibition with the Museum’s hours and ticket.
