THE PERFUME MUSEUM IN BARCELONA
Did you know that perfumes were already used in prehistory? How were the first aromatic ointments? Who used them? How were the bottles to store the perfume in antiquity?
All these questions and many more have their response to the Perfume Museum of Barcelona, an “aromatic” walk through the history of perfumery and we invite you to discover. A 5 senses pleasures.
In the heart of Passeig de Gràcia
The Perfume Museum was opened in 1963 and is located on Passeig de Gràcia 39, in the interior of Perfumeria Regia.
In your visit you’ll discover the evolution of perfumery from its millennial origins to the present.
The spectacular showcases of the Museum house more than 5,000 pieces related to the world of perfumery, from containers to create perfumed ointments to the most current trademarks. To enjoy everything that the Museum offers us, it has been divided into 2 main parts:
- The first part of the visit consists of a large collection of different glasses, ointments and other containers from the origins of perfumery until the modern age. This part is exposed in chronological order to be able to fully understand its historical evolution.
- The second part of the visit is dedicated to perfumery after the industrialization process and we will find a multitude of bottles exposed of the most prestigious brands to enjoy their exquisite designs.
Many of the pieces found in the Museum are unique to the world of perfumery, among which are essence bottles of Queen Marie Antoinette of France or the unique “Le Roi Soleil” created by the famous Salvador Dalí.
A perfect museum to discover the secrets of perfume and a walk through the art that we have in the middle of Barcelona.
