The event highlights the dynasty’s artistic mastery and cross-cultural exchanges, with a particular focus on interactions with China.

After its acclaimed debut at the V&A in London from late 2024 to early 2025, the exhibition makes its only Asian stop. It features loans from Kuwait, the United Kingdom, the Chris Hall Collection, and the Collection of Mengdiexuan.
