Lalique Museum

Lalique Museum is housed in two protected historic buildings in central Doesburg and displays glass creations, perfume bottles, jewelry, and decorative objects spanning different periods. The collection presents both original works and contemporary pieces that relate to these artistic craft traditions.

Named for French artist Rene Lalique, who lived from 1860 to 1945, the museum honors his revolutionary glass designs that shaped the Art Nouveau movement. His innovations in glass production influenced decorative arts across Europe and established foundations for modern glass art throughout the 20th century.

The collection demonstrates how glass became a medium for artistic expression in the early 1900s, with works that blend nature-inspired forms and refined craftsmanship. You can observe how such objects were woven into daily life and why decorative design held such value for people of that time.

The museum is located in a walkable historic town center and easy to reach on foot with good visibility of both buildings. Plan to spend 2 to 3 hours browsing the collections at a comfortable pace and examining the details of the glass sculptures and jewelry pieces.

The collection includes rare perfume bottles from earlier decades that reveal how glass art and fragrance culture were deeply connected in Europe. These bottles are highly valued by collectors for their intricate craftsmanship and their role in the development of the luxury goods industry.
