Barock

Baroque – the Albert de la Chapelle silver collection presents the oldest, mainly from the 17th century, objects from the silver collection of Doctor of Medicine and Professor of Medical Genetics, Albert de la Chapelle. The extensive collection of hundreds of objects includes both historically valuable silver and objects that Albert collected for his own amusement. Some of the culturally and historically valuable collection will be presented to the public for the first time in Chappe in 2024. The selection of objects will be updated in accordance with exhibition changes.

“At the estate distribution after my father, I received a small radiant baroque altar wafer plate. This was a real stroke of luck because I had already been madly in love with the plate for a while. I can immerse myself in thoughts about the time when priests served wafers on this plate during communion. Well, as the lucky owner of the plate, I started going to auctions at home and abroad, and the result is in front of us in the form of a large collection of silver objects belonging to my art foundation and based in Ekenäs.” Albert de la Chapelle
