THE "GEMSTONES" EXHIBITION

This exhibition presented at the Great Gallery of Evolution of Garden of plants was made in collaboration with Van Cleef & Arpels!
It is a real immersion in the world of mineralogy, gemology and jewelry: are presented more than 500 minerals, gems and art objects from the Museum's collections and over 200 gems and jewelry creations of the House of Van Cleef & Arpels
The Precious Stones exhibition presents diamonds, rubies, emeralds, aquamarines and turquoises extracted from the depths of the Earth, coveted and sought after for millennia
These gems ? gems worked by man ? have always been considered as instruments of power and objects of seduction but also, since the 18th century, as scientific subjects
The scenography is contemporary, the exhibition immerses the visitor in the history of the Earth, the processes of formation of minerals and the latest scientific advances in geosciences
Children and adults will marvel at the most beautiful creations fashioned by the hand of Man from natural diversity
