Whether gold, pearls, rings, watches, or tattoos— men have been adorning themselves for millennia. Jewelry is far more than mere decoration: it speaks to identity, power, faith, belonging, and personal style. The exhibition shows how jewelry has shaped the image of masculinity over the centuries.
Through extraordinary historical objects, artisanal works, and interactive stations, you’ll discover the messages conveyed by jewelry and how notions of masculinity and gender roles have changed over time.
Here’s what awaits you:
- A special exhibition on men’s jewelry from the Stone Age to the present
- Various thematic sections on power, identity, faith, and social change
- Interactive stations and fascinating insights into the cultural history of jewelry
