At the Musée Judéo-Alsacien Bouxwiller
Art Deco and its daring artistic adventures inspired the brothers Norbert and Moritz Max Neiger to create costume jewellery for this brand new market, in response to the post-First World War desire for more sobriety than the expensive jewellery that had previously been paraded. The exhibition tells the story of these designers from the Czech town of Gablonz, whose work helped to put the town on the map of the European jewellery industry. This was before they were forced to flee during the annexation of the Sudetenland, their family being murdered in Poland in 1941.
