FRANCAISA unique journey into the heart of art, colour, precious stones, luxury and the world of cinema and history.
After the enormous success of its 125th anniversary celebration in Rome last year, the luxury jeweller’s will be bringing its exhibition to Paris for the first time, choosing the legendary surroundings of the Grand Palais to showcase its history, creativity and prestige.
“125 years of Italian Magnificence” looks back over the key moments in the history of the celebrated jewellery maker and the development of Bulgari design, from the opening of the first boutique on Rome’s Via Sistina in 1884 to the present day. More than 500 precious items illustrate the path followed by Bulgari on the way to becoming the world’s leading exponent of precious, highly colourful jewellery.
Divided chronologically into periods, the retrospective begins with designs using silver and diamonds from the first half of the 20th century, then shows the creative turn taken in the 1960s with the emergence of a new style combining precious stones with rarely used original materials. The exhibition continues with the eclectic style inspired by 1970s pop art, the bold designs of the 1980s and 90s, right through to the spectacular designs of the 21st century.
Jewellery, drawings, cinema stills and original items from private collections never yet publicly exhibited in France, including Bulgari’s own vintage collection and pieces owned by Elisabeth Taylor, immerse visitors in the luxurious world of Bulgari, in a spectacularly designed setting.
Open daily from 10 am to 8 pm, until 10 pm on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Admission fee: 12 euros. Free entrance for children under 10 years. Entry valid for 1 hour.
