54.892 visitors at the exhibition “Rock und Rüstung” at the armoury in Graz supported by Rubelli.
Among all the different events that will take place this year in Graz – Cultural Capital of Europe 2003 – it is important to mention a very original exhibition staged in the famous Museum of the weapons at the “Zeughaus”, one of the biggest armouries in the world with a collection of over 30.000 items: “Rock und Rüstung” (translated: Skirt and Armour).
The exhibition has been sponsored by Rubelli who has donated the fabrics for4 costumes exhibited on the floors of the museum. Female dresses from different periods tell a story of sensuality in contrast with symbols of death represented by the armours and weapons: delicate fabrics take stand against brutal weapons in an unusual and suggestive environment.
