SILVER TALES - KAREN BLIXEN TOLD IN SILVER, PEARLS AND DIAMONDS

Until 30th April 2023

The exhibition “Silver Tales” explores Karen Blixen’s work, life and persona as a story told in silver, pearls and diamonds, which were her preferred choice of jewellery. Goldsmiths, silversmiths, and jewellery designers, inspired by a portrait, an object in the museum, or one of Karen Blixen’s tales, are exhibiting forty-two pieces of jewellery and silverware in five separate sections. These refer to five of Karen Blixen’s tales: The Pearls, The Ring, The Immortal Story, The Diver, and The Ghost Horses, in which jewels play a central part, relating to experiences of loss, sensuality, art and eternity.

Karen Blixen’s own jewellery box was limited, but the few pieces she wore throughout her life had a special story, based on love. She also used deliberately eye-catching pieces, which were both exclusive, for everyday wear or even borrowed. It was the effect that counted, and with an artist’s eye Karen Blixen created her own unique style.

Opening hours: Tuesday - Thursday 11:00 – 21:00, Friday - Sunday 11:00 – 17:00 (Closed Mondays).

Admission: DKK 100
