Follow your nose...
to the newly launched Perfumery Museum at the Qatar America Institute for the Arts in Washington DC
The Perfumery Museum is a journey for the senses and an introduction to the history, science, and stories behind the craft of perfumery through time and the world.
Hidden inside an intimate chamber within the Qatar America Institute for Culture (QAIC), the Perfumery Museum is both an educational museum and interactive exhibit telling the story around the strong cultural ties between fragrance and society. By visiting this space, you will discover perfumery’s opulent origins as a symbol of luxury and how it has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry. Equipped with this new knowledge, test your senses at the scent strip station and learn about how some of the most notable fragrances of ancient times came to become the phenomenon they are today.
The Perfumery Museum is open to visitors during QAIC’s normal business hours. Visits are arranged by appointment only
