The exhibition “REVIZION: Between Tradition and Innovation” presents a unique fusion of historical costume jewellery and modern design. As part of the project, students from five universities in the Czech Republic and abroad have transformed Art Nouveau and Art Deco costume jewellery into contemporary fashion accessories (Technical University of Liberec, University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław and Trier University of Applied Sciences, Campus Gemstones and Jewellery in Idar-Oberstein).

The exhibition showcases bold prototypes that combine traditional craftsmanship with new materials and the creators' personal stories. Discover how the younger generation is breathing new life into both museum collections and the industry. The exhibition will open on 25 June 2026 at Villa Bengel in Idar-Oberstein, Germany. It will run there until 25 September 2026, before moving to the State Museum of Glass and Costume Jewellery in Jablonec nad Nisou (Czech Republic) from 22 October 2026.
