The Lalique museum is named after René Lalique. Lalique was a glass artist and goldsmith who lived from 1860 to 1945. Lalique is especially known for his glass objects and also created many designs for the perfume industry. In the webshop, you can order exclusive Lalique perfumes. The perfume and the books about René Lalique are in high demand.
The current owner of the “company” Lalique produces a so-called annual piece every year.

René Lalique was a great admirer of the so-called “small nature” such as the butterfly, the dragonfly, and the frog or lizard.
He regularly walked through nature with his grandfather, and his attention was drawn to the “small nature.”
He incorporated this small nature into his jewelry or glass objects such as vases or perfume bottles. The jewelry would then feature images of the frog, the dragonfly, and the butterfly, which capture the imagination of many. In addition, René Lalique included many depictions of women in his jewelry and vases. The woman plays a central role in the art of René Lalique.
During the Art Nouveau period, nature and the woman were central themes. The art of Lalique appeals to many people, and that is why this interesting museum in the Netherlands is experiencing rapid growth, with many guests wanting to visit this museum outing.

René Lalique is a man of his time. During the Art Nouveau period (1890-1914), there was an atmosphere of faith in progress. People were convinced that society would become more beautiful and that everyone would benefit from technological advancements. Additionally, it was a time full of symbolism. The Lalique Museum in the Netherlands is a place where much attention is given to this period. As a result, in the years 2017 and 2018, special attention is paid to the Art Nouveau artist Jan Toorop. Jan Toorop lived between 1858 and 1928. Jan Toorop is, par excellence, an Art Nouveau artist. Because this period in history is currently very popular, many guests visit this museum in the Netherlands and take advantage of the museum outing.

Lalique created many different objects. His creations are very diverse, and guests can hardly imagine that a single artist could have designed all these objects. They are therefore completely surprised by the objects they encounter during their museum visit.
René Lalique produced 15,000 designs during his lifetime. Of these 15,000 designs, he realized 7,500. Lalique had a facility where he eventually employed 600 people.
Lalique initially worked alone. Through marriage to a wealthy lady, he took over a studio, allowing him to work with a group of 20 people. Later, in Wingen-sur-Moder, he essentially had a “factory” where 600 people worked on designing and producing objects. You can imagine that this mass production was interesting for people who did not have the means to purchase the more exclusive works. This created a new target group who also began to acquire Lalique’s objects.
All of this is made clear during this museum visit.

If you would like more than just a casual visit to the museum, it might be interesting to take part in a package at the museum. Since many visitors seek a deeper experience during their visit to this fascinating museum in the Netherlands, a package including a prosecco reception and a luxury lunch is a great alternative.
You will be welcomed in the museum’s concert hall, where you will enjoy a glass of prosecco while listening to a lecture by the curator. After this lecture, you will have a luxury lunch. Afterwards, you will be given a guided tour of the museum.
Many people take advantage of this museum outing and are very enthusiastic about it.
