Schwarzkopf collection

The valuable cultural and historical Schwarzkopf collection has been on permanent loan to the German Hygiene Museum in Dresden since 1995. The fascinating collection about the history of beauty care and personal grooming has been assembled over a period of more than four decades. There are more than 2,000 exhibits in the collection, including antique razors and hairpins, bath and hairstyling accessories, wash bowls, dressing tables, powder boxes, flea traps, wig stands and equipment for curling and setting hair. They document the health care, beauty and grooming rituals from different cultural periods, from the ancient world to the Middle Ages, from the Renaissance, baroque and classicism periods to modern times. Closed on Mondays.
