The Europäisches Flakonglasmuseum (European Flacon Glass Museum) takes its visitors on an exciting journey through 5000 years of the very special combination of glass and valuable fragrance essences. The excursion into the history of glass production comes to an end on the visitors' platform, which allows a view of the fully automated flacon production of a glass manufacturer. But what would a bottle be without its contents? The exhibition also sheds light on fragrance and care culture from antiquity to the present day, culminating in a sensory experience in a fragrance room. Finally, "Perfume Flacons - A Journey through the 20th Century" shows over 1000 of the approximately 2500 flacons in the Beatrice Frankl collection, providing an insight into the richness and complexity of the art of perfumery and glassmaking from 1920 to 1990.
