Featuring over 300 pieces, the show draws inspiration from Chinese dragons, antiques and motifs, and highlights the use of lesser-known traditional Chinese techniques in the works of Cartier Organised by the Shanghai Museum and supported by Cartier , the exhibition “Cartier, the Power of Magic” creates a cultural dialogue between the maison’s high jewellery collection and ancient Chinese artworks. The show is running at Shanghai Museum East until February 17, 2025. The curatorial team selected over 300 creations from the Cartier Collection and nearly 40 Chinese artworks from museums at home and abroad.
The dialogue stands out as a cherished exchange, and showcases the striking resemblance between Cartier and ancient Chinese art when it comes to capturing timeless beauty. “We believe this exhibition transcends the scope of a typical jewellery showcase,” Shanghai Museum director Chu Xiaobo said at the exhibition opening. “It embodies a deeper expression of China’s cultural confidence and self-awareness through its curation.
