Soap, Sex & Chocolate – On Handling Bodily Fluids

Description

The exhibition "Soap, Sex and Chocolate" explores how we deal with our bodily fluids and how our relationship to our own scent, sexual desire, menstruation, defecation, and venereal diseases has evolved over the centuries. It also examines how our supposedly personal feelings are shaped by upbringing, society, and the passage of time.

Visitors are invited to smell, taste, and try things out for themselves, to peek through peepholes, try on historical sanitary towels, spray fragrances, and create their own perfume "L'eau séductif du Laurentin." And with a bit of luck, meet the Blue Silk Squire who haunts the castle.

Highlights

• Interactive exhibits on bodily fluids and scent
• Try on historical sanitary products and create your own perfume
