René Lalique had a very eventful life. Through his contacts with Gulbenkian and the perfumer Coty, his work displays great variety. Thanks to Gulbenkian, Lalique was given carte blanche to create jewelry. Gulbenkian was extremely wealthy. Lalique was now able to create jewelry worn by the rich and famous, such as the well-known actress Sarah Bernhardt.
Through Coty, Lalique came into contact with a perfumer who had a major influence on his life. Thanks to Coty and Lalique, perfume bottles are now beautiful in appearance.

The museum has a webshop where you can order the standard work on Lalique.
It is called “Microcosmos of René Lalique.” In addition, you can also order Lalique perfume on the website. Nowadays, perfumes are still produced under the Lalique brand.

You can have lunch in the museum by the open fireplace or on the terrace.
Every day you are welcome without a reservation.  It is a delicious lunch freshly prepared in the museum's kitchen.
In addition, the museum has a formal garden where you can enjoy the flowers.
The planting has been designed in such a way that so-called “small nature,” such as butterflies and dragonflies, are frequently present in this garden. René Lalique was a great admirer of “small nature” and, for example, incorporated the butterfly into his jewelry. These pieces of jewelry can also be seen in the Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon, in Alsace, and in Japan. Sometimes they represent a value of up to one hundred million euros, as is the case in the museum in Lisbon.
In this sense, it is unique that the museum in Doesburg, near the museum in Arnhem, displays this special collection.
