Annette Green Museum changes location.

more than a century and includes perfume bottles from more than 165

Lauren.
For the debut, the bottle collection is being featured in two
exhibits. Fashion Makes Scents is a temporary exhibit running until Dec.

such as garments, shoes and jewelry and a smaller, permanent space on
