The jewellery box
Jewellery is not just jewellery; rather, it bears witness to the age
in which it was created.
In February 2017 Den Gamle By will open the permanent exhibition
Smykkeskrinet – danske smykker fra det 20. århundrede
(The Jewellery Box – Danish Jewellery of the Twentieth Century).
The exhibition displays 510 pieces of jewellery from a collection
the likes of which have not been seen anywhere else in the world.
The collection provides a comprehensive picture of the national
and international trends in the twentieth century that made
Danish industrial arts world-famous. In the article Curator Jens
Ingvordsen
presents a handful of the pieces of jewellery and their
special characteristics.
