In this guided tour, one of the curators provides insights into the concept behind the special exhibition “Ornament and Symbol: What Adorns Men,” offering new perspectives on selected exhibits. The focus is on the question of how jewelry can be interpreted—both as an indication of social functions and as an expression of personal and cultural identity.
