Multimedia presentations, for example, developed with the support of the Paris School of Jewelry Arts, help visitors understand the techniques used in goldsmithing. Additionally, reproductions of famous paintings show how the jewelry was worn and content designed for younger visitors explaining the significance of motifs, their official symbolism and popular beliefs.
"Thanks to pieces on loan from the Xi'an Qujiang Museum of Fine Arts and their exceptional collection of vases and ornaments, the Guimet Museum shines a spotlight on the splendor of traditional gold craftsmanship and the art of jewelry during a golden era of Chinese civilization," said Arnaud Bertrand and Helene Gascuel, curators of the Guimet Museum.
