Chinese culture sparkles in French jewelry

A dialogue between fine jewelry and ancient Chinese culture is taking place at the exhibition Cartier, the Power of Magic at Shanghai Museum East from Nov 6 to Feb 17.

The exhibition features 202 exquisite pieces from the Cartier Collection including jewelry, watches and 96 archival documents along with 34 Chinese cultural relics selected from the Shanghai Museum collection, and borrowed from nine other institutions around China to create a profound dialogue that spans six sections.

This is also the first time the Shanghai Museum has involved artificial intelligence in the scenography design of an exhibition, which was created by the AI team led by contemporary Chinese artist Cai Guoqiang.

Twenty years ago, the French brand and the Shanghai Museum first collaborated to present the exhibition Cartier at its venue in the People's Square.
