The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek museum in Copenhagen, Denmark, is hosting a major exhibition titled ‘The Power of Fashion in the Roman Empire’. The showcase features 171 objects, including 18 artifacts from the Burdur Museum collection, which include marble statues of the imperial family, textiles, jewelry, and footwear.

Curated by Cecilie Brøns, the exhibition examines how clothing, hairstyles, and grooming rituals were used to communicate social hierarchy, political power, and identity in ancient Rome. Highlights include a 1st-century AD sculpture of Emperor Tiberius; while the marble appears white, digital reconstructions suggest the tunic was originally a vibrant pink to symbolize authority. The exhibition also incorporates sensory elements, such as recreations of ancient perfumes, and is scheduled to run until March 29, 2027.
