MUSÉE DES ARTS DÉCORATIFS, PARIS

Since 2004, pieces from the Cartier Collection have been permanently lent to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. They are presented in the Jewellery Gallery which is dedicated to the history of jewellery from the Middle Ages to modern times. The selection on loan is updated regularly, most recently in September 2014.
