From the Great Mughals to the Maharajas: Jewels from the Al Thani collection
Des Grands Moghols aux Maharajas - Joyaux de la collection Al Thani
Until 5th June 2017
The exhibition From the Great Mughals to the Maharajas: Jewels from the Al Thani collection allows visitors to immerse themselves in the jewellery traditions of the Indian subcontinent, from the Mughal period to the modern day, installed within an evocative and ethereal setting. The evolution of gem-setting and jewellery will be shown through over two hundred and fifty exceptional pieces from the Al Thani Collection, together with major works on loan from prestigious institutions and private collections. Famous historic Indian diamonds, spectacular precious objects and legendary pieces of jewellery will be brought together to represent the evolution of taste and technique in India’s jewelled arts over five centuries. The exhibition also presents the major developments in Indian jewellery traditions, from the peak of XVIIth century Mughal imperial patronage through years of political chaos and colonisation from the XVIIIth century onwards, to the age of the Durbar, great ceremonies that provided Indian sovereigns with a new setting in which to show off their jewels during the time of the British Raj.
Exhibition organisez by Réunion des musées nationaux – Grand Palais with the collaboration of musée national des arts asiatiques – Guimet
Plus de 270 pièces extraordinaires, issues de la collection Al Thani, racontent l’histoire de la joaillerie indienne, de la période moghole à nos jours.
