A fresh look at Pre-Raphaelite art, through ideas about smell
“The exhibition is going to have a sensory experience,” explains Andrew Davies, communications & marketing manager at the Barber, in talking about Scent And The Art Of The Pre-Raphaelites. “We’re actually going to be producing scent in the gallery. There was a belief in Victorian times that you could smell a rainbow - it smelt like spring flowers and meadows... “One of the paintings we’re borrowing comes from Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. It’s called The Blind Girl, where they’re breathing in the scent of the rainbow in the background.”
