▲ The Kunstpalast art museum in Düsseldorf, Germany, opened the exhibition "The Secret Power of Scents" yesterday, showcasing the history of fragrances from antiquity to the present day. The exhibition, featuring approximately 30 olfactory stations, invites visitors to create an experience that evokes memories and emotions. The museum has developed a journey that begins with the use of fragrances in religious ceremonies thousands of years ago, continues through the European courts of the Baroque era and the pervasive scents of 18th-century cities, the development of eau de cologne, the creation of synthetic aromas during the Industrial Revolution, and the emergence of trendy synthetic fragrances that revolutionized perfumery in the 20th century.
