Beskrivelse

Icons of Longevity explores Luxdorph’s remarkable collection that connects art, civilization, and science. It highlights the portrayal of elderly figures and the evolution of ageing research.

A unique collection reflecting the history of art, science, and society’s view on ageing.

Luxdorph’s collection holds a threefold significance, offering insights into the history of art, civilization, and science. Its reconstruction and availability are especially valuable today for showcasing representations of very old men and women, tracing the progress of ageing research, and examining related socio-cultural issues. Furthermore, the collection embodies an encyclopaedic curiosity, the enthusiasm for collecting, and the beginnings of science-driven collections that became prominent in 18th-century Europe.
