Exhibition | Scent and the Art of the Pre-Raphaelites

Ever wondered what a painting smells like? For the first time ever, experience the unseen scents of Pre-Raphaelite art. 

This groundbreaking show features some of the most iconic works by Pre-Raphaelite painters in public and private collections across the UK, including Tate, the Ashmolean, Oxford, and Birmingham Museums.

Besides masterpieces by well-known artists like Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Sir John Everett Millais and John William Waterhouse, the exhibition will showcase spectacular works by less familiar names of the period, such as Evelyn de Morgan, Anna Alma-Tadema and Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale.

Developed in collaboration with storytelling art-curators Artphilia, this is the first public UK exhibition to feature the unique AirParfum technology developed by Puig, the Spanish fashion and fragrance house, which will help bring to life two key paintings with custom-designed scents.
