The Art of Movement, Van Cleef & Arpels

Until 20th October 2022

Featuring almost a hundred creations from Van Cleef & Arpels' patrimonial collection, numerous archive documents and lender masterpieces, this exhibition illustrates the French High Jewelry Maison's constant quest to impart movement into precious materials.

Van Cleef & Arpels has constantly blended the excellence of its High Jewellery savoir-faire with great delicacy of vision in order to imbue the most precious materials with lightness and dynamism. Notable for their unique designs, their three-dimensional volume and their composition, the creations showcased stand out as manifestos of the Art of Movement.

Amongst a selection of pieces from the Maison's patrimonial collection, archives documents and private collector's creations, this exhibition draws visitors into a dreamlike world of movement and harmony.

This artistic journey is divided into four themes: Nature Alive, Dance, Elegance and Abstract Movements. Each highlights a facet of motion explored by Van Cleef & Arpels since its foundation in 1906.

Opening hours: Daily 10.00 – 17.45 (Sun – Thu), 10.00 – 20.45 (Fri – Sat)

Admission: Free
