Extremes in bag shapes

15 juin 2026

During the summer months, our central display case features about ten bag-shaped meerschaum pipe bowls. Together with our visitors, we examine the shapes of these intriguing - albeit rather chunky - pipes. The name derives from the tobacco pouches that once shared this form, though it is hardly a flattering label. What new, fitting name can be devised for these pipe models? Join the conversation and inspire us with new names that are both apt and appropriate. On view until September 12, 2026.
