THE NEW SPECIAL EXHIBITION CARTIER & WOMEN

will be on view at the Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM) from 14 April through 14 August 2023. Organised and curated by the HKPM with the support of Cartier, the exhibition will feature loans generously provided by the Cartier Collection and private collections. As the first major exhibition on the role and influence of women in the history of Cartier, it will present approximately 300 stunning treasures created by Cartier, which include jewellery, timepieces, precious objects, accessories, and archival records spanning from the 19th century to the present day. The exhibition explores the bond between women and jewellery through a series of captivating narratives that reflect Cartier’s deep connections with many influential women throughout history and in the present day. The exhibition will highlight how Chinese art has inspired Cartier in design, style, decorative motif, technique and material in particular, and how Chinese aesthetics has influenced women's lifestyle and global fashion in general.
