Making Marvels: Science & Splendor at the Courts of Europe

Making Marvels: Science & Splendor at the Courts of Europe is a for sure must-see exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibit runs until March 1, 2020 and I would highly recommend it. You will be fascinated by what your eyes will see. Let's take a peek: 

You can actually hear this ringing in the exhibit Totally wonderful 

Love all the cameos here  

This was just lovely in person 

This diamond was saved from being stolen with many other jewels in November 2019 in Dresden's Green Vault Museum. What a gorgeous, lucky, piece indeed 

Sapphires are my favorite gemstone  

The Order of the Golden Fleece just really blew my mind  

 

 

To hear these clocks chiming is a pure joy  

Gorgeous beyond words 

The condition of this watch is just amazing 

What a glorious work of art in a timepiece  

This really is a must see exhibit and The Met is a great spot to visit during the winter months if the weather outside is a bit chilly. You will enjoy this so much as I did and would love to go back through a second time before it closes.

Heavenly Bodies Part 4 "The Vatican"

All diamonds this was just really quite fantastic 

Totally beautiful 

How fabulous are these shoes!!! 

Mitre of Leo XIII (1878–1903). German cloth of silver embroidered with gold metal thread, diamonds, emeralds, sapphires and semiprecious stones, from 1887.

These items just leave you breathless 

Another angle of those shoes, they look like they could be pretty comfy! 

Tiara of Pius IX (1846-78), German and Spanish, 1854. Cloth of silver embroidered with gold metal thread, gold, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and pearls. 

How gorgeous is this tiara? It gives the English royal family a run for their money!
