Hermès Launches Mystery at the Grooms’ Interactive Experience in Shanghai

From December 7 to 15, Hermès brings the Mystery at the Grooms’, a playful and interactive experience showcasing the boundless creativity of the house’s sixteen métiers. Visitors will use their quick wits and ingenuity to find clues and solve a mystery as they plunge into a universe built around Hermès objects, all stitched together by a common inspirational thread that spans generations: the horse.

“Playing means being together. Play is movement, freedom, imagination, fantasy, lightness... and the horse is our first companion in the playground of creation,” says Pierre-Alexis Dumas, Artistic Director of Hermès.

As they set out to solve this curious case, visitors will discover a diverse panorama of Hermès objects from across the eras, a reflection of the house’s imagination and the timelessness of its craftsmanship; present or past, these are objects designed to last, to be repaired and passed on. Abundant, innovative and singular, these Hermès creations become the centrepieces of this lighthearted experience where guests-turned-Hermès-detectives are asked to examine the familiar and the mysterious in a different light. A word to the wise: following the hoofprints – either literal or implied – on each of these objects will be the key to unravelling this mystery...
