Olfactory Art by Camilla Nicklaus-Maurer

03.06.2025 - 31.10.2025

Lavender becomes an art object

From June, the house will be all about lavender as an art object - not only to see, but also to touch and smell. Scent artist Camilla Nicklaus-Maurer is devoting her work entirely to this fascinating plant and staging it in an unusual way. For example, the staircase to the Laboratory of Fragrances, the mirrors in the washroom and the bench in the foyer are artistically integrated into the exhibition and enrich the building with further sensory experiences.

The content of the exhibition is deliberately not explained in detail here. We would like to encourage you to experience for yourself how lavender becomes an object of art.

About the person:

Camilla Nicklaus-Maurer (*1983) studied experimental sculpture with a focus on paper, art education with a focus on sculpture and spatial installation as well as sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. She graduated with a diploma in sculpture in 2012 and completed her doctorate there in 2025 on the subject of fragrance in contemporary art. She has participated in exhibitions in the USA, Korea, Belgium and the Czech Republic as well as numerous projects in Germany. The artist primarily takes up site-specific structures and references to existing artistic positions and translates them freely and associatively into olfactory artworks. She lives and works in Grainau, Bavaria.

The exhibition is included in the regular admission price.
