Pewter from the Middle Ages to Art Nouveau

Pewter objects are a widespread yet largely forgotten part of European cultural and decorative arts history. The Berlin Kunstgewerbemuseum presents a special exhibition at its branch in Schloss Kopenick, tracing the use of pewter from the Middle Ages through to the Art Nouveau period.

The show sheds light on a material that was once central to everyday life and artistic craft across Europe, exploring how pewter was shaped, used, and valued across the centuries.
