CARTIER Melbourne Winter Masterpieces® 2026 | National Gallery of Victoria
Exhibitions
This winter, experience Cartier's elegance and glamour at NGV. The exhibition will showcase nearly 400 exquisite pieces of jewelry, gemstones, and ornaments, tracing Cartier's enduring legacy in art, design, and craftsmanship. The exhibition tells the story of Cartier's rise to prominence, from its early 20th-century creations to its contemporary masterpieces, featuring pieces commissioned, owned, and worn by royalty and Hollywood stars. Design drawings, sketches, and photographs from the Cartier archives reveal the creative process behind the pieces, offering a glimpse into its exceptional craftsmanship. This exhibition is a collaborative effort between the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) and the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) in London, presented in partnership with Cartier. As an exclusive exhibition in Melbourne, the Cartier exhibits not only bring together loaned pieces from important collections around the world but also include a selection of masterpieces from the Cartier Collection. The exhibition design was a collaborative effort between NGV, Studio Sabine Marcelis, and CLOUD, three multidisciplinary design firms based in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
