From November 16, 2014 to March 15, 2015, the Denver Art Museum will host a major exhibition dedicated to the jewellery house Cartier.
Through more than 250 pieces from private collections (jewels, decorative objects…) and having belonged to both anonymous and prestigious clients such as Princess Grace of Monaco, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Elizabeth Taylor, J.P. Morgan or the Aga Khan, the house of Cartier offers you to discover its history.
