Did you know that crystal is a form of glass that must contain at least 24% lead oxide for it to be called crystal? It was after René Lalique’s death in 1945 that his son Marc began to adopt crystal in preference to glass.<\/p>\n
The museum’s “Crystal” space houses pieces by Marc Lalique, his daughter Marie-Claude and the current Lalique design studio. You’ll see works that marked their era, such as the famous L’Air du temps<\/em> Nina Ricci perfume bottle and the 1992 Winter Olympic medals.<\/p>\n Get a feel for the skills and know-how still used today at Wingen-sur-Moder, thanks to a touch-screen table presenting the various stages of production of the Bacchantes vase. And a 7-minute multi-screen film takes you into the heart of the Lalique factory (it is not possible to organise factory visits).<\/p>\n End your visit with the Lalique, Sculpteur de Cristal<\/em> film, which you can see in the auditorium. From the design studio to the completion of the finished object, the film shows the complete process through a series of interviews.
