About the CARTIER exhibition
The NGV presents CARTIER, a landmark exhibition featuring nearly 400 extraordinary jewels, gems and jewellery objects, the exhibition traces the evolution of Cartier’s enduring legacy in art, design and craftsmanship. Spanning the Maison’s early years at the turn of the 20th century through to its most contemporary creations, the exhibition brings together some of Cartier’s most iconic pieces. Design drawings from the Cartier archives illuminate the creative process behind the works, offering a rare glimpse into their exceptional craftsmanship.
The exhibition design is a collaboration between NGV, Studio Sabine Marcelis and CLOUD, two multidisciplinary design practices based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
