In an interplay of (fragrance) stations, works of art, images, sound and text, the exhibition brings the sensory properties and history behind Christmas fragrances to life.

Freshly fallen snow, the air cold and clear - what images does this conjure up in your mind? Why does the scent of cinnamon and resinous fir wood warm our hearts - and what would a Christmas mass be without a hint of incense? Whether we are baking, making candles or decorating the Christmas tree - the Christmas season surrounds us with a variety of scents. This year's Christmas exhibition focuses on four of these scents and invites you on a sensual journey of discovery.

Selected by a public survey, the exhibition focuses on the Christmas scents of snow, fir, cinnamon and smoke. In an interplay of interactive sensory (scent) stations, works of art, images, sound and text, the exhibition brings the sensory properties and the history behind Christmas scents to life.

The exhibition takes place in cooperation with regional institutions and features works by Salome Bäumlin, Lorenz Olivier Schmid, Julia Steiner and Urs Twellmann. Curated by Julia Schallberger and Elena Eichenberger.

The exhibition is closed from December 24 to 26 and from December 31 to January 2.
