The Petit Palais, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Paris, houses several tens of thousands of objects and works of art.

The Petit Palais exhibition offers a broad panorama of jewelry designs and models representing the different artistic periods and styles, as well as an insight into the creative process of these luxury jewelry designers.

This exhibition offers a unique insight into the work of a jewelry designer. Through working documents, archives, preparatory sketches and works of art, visitors can follow step-by-step the design and invention of luxury jewelry and accessories.

The Petit Palais offers a tour that blends styles and periods, from the Second Empire toArt Deco, via cubism, naturalism andArt Nouveau...
