Bulgari. 125 years of Italian magnificence

If you’re in Paris and in a decadent mood, go visit the Grand Palais for the exhibition ‘Bulgari. 125 years of Italian magnificence’ (until January 12 2011). This exceptional exhibition takes you on a 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 brought its exhibition to Paris for the first time.‘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. All that glitters is, in fact, gold.
