Guangdong Museum - Gaze | A 500-Year Journey Through Fashion

The treasures in the "Gaze" exhibition at Guangdong Museum are like a frozen epic, telling the story of a brilliant dialogue between Eastern and Western civilizations from the 16th to 20th centuries. Princess Thyra of Denmark's sapphire tiara shines like the brightest star in the night sky, with 344 cut sapphires and diamonds weaving together royal elegance, its graceful curves outlining 19th-century Europe's fascination with Eastern beauty. The Ming Dynasty gold-mounted precious filigree five-phoenix crown, crafted with 250g of gold and thousands of gems, eternally captures the phoenix feathers and peony's beauty, while its gilt and kingfisher feather technique casts mysterious gleams in the shadows.
