MOPA, a fictional perfume museum, was created by Crème de la Crème, an haute parfumerie boutique chain, specifically for Art Vilnius 2018 International Contemporary Art Fair. The name ‘MOPA’ served as an ironic allusion to the monikers of contemporary art museums, such as MOMA, MUMOK or MOCAK.
The configuration and architectural construction of the building suggested the idea of spatial segmentation. For the interior, partition arches of classical shape were used: soft lines and the perception of spatial scale created a play of light and shadows, adding a touch of refinement. A quiet shade of terra cotta, a colour with deep historical roots, was deliberatly chosen to act as the dominant shade of the interior.
