Myth and beauty 
The exhibition celebrates the work of Emile-Maurice Hermès as the inventor of an accessory, the scarf, which he found great success in the field of women's fashion.
Manufactured silk 90x90 cm, presented pictures of different subjects; success obtained representations of horses, carriages and travel, in addition to images of the Napoleonic period.
Of these scarves for over fifty years, you appreciate the designs, colors and materials, but not everyone knows which have often been a vehicle for a message such as Lettre Murat published in 1946, Victoire in 1948, Victoire B in the 1949 and Napoleon in 1963.
The study of these designs has led to interpret the language of the messages hidden by the beauty of the design and colors that have helped to divert attention from the deeper message that there was implied.
The result is that of one who participates in an interactive game by adding to scarf an important cultural value that goes beyond the simple aesthetic appreciation.
To date, about 150 scarves were identified dealing with issues related epic Napoleon, on display will be exhibited around 70, which derive from the private collection of Emile Hermès, which for the first time they leave the home of the famous 24, rue du Faubourg Saint - Honoré, as well as for the first time the model in ebony and ivory flora, from the Emperor's private collection, leave the museum of the Navy.
