Indian History in Jewels

'From the Great Mughals to the Maharajas' exhibition's world tour has come to Paris. 

Until June 5th, the Grand Palais in Paris becomes a treasury, showcasing the iconic  Al Thani Collection in 250 pieces. It reveals beauty and mastery of early modern Indian jewellers, as well as their fascinating influence on Western art of jewelry. 

Behind the glitz, the visitors can see major developments in Indian jewellery traditions, from its peak in 17th century through years of political chaos and colonization from the 18th centure onwards, to the age of the Durbar. But with this precious pieces of history, formed in jewels, it's better to see once, than to hear about it, especially, since the current exhibition in Paris brings them to one place.

'From the Great Mughals to the Maharajas'展览全球巡展来到巴黎了。

直到6月5日，巴黎的Grand Palais将变成一个藏宝室，展出标志性的Al Thani系列的250件作品。它展示了现代早期的印度珠宝匠人的美与卓越技术，以及他们对西方珠宝艺术的巨大影响。

奢华的背后，参观者可以看见印度珠宝传统的主线发展，从17世纪的巅峰时期到自18世纪起的政治动荡和殖民时期，到Durbar时代。但是这段珍贵的历史记录在珠宝之中，那么我们最好亲眼见证一次，而不是听说，特别是，现在在巴黎举办的展览给了我们这样一次机会。
