"The Shining Princess 'Tiara Exhibition' -the Elegant World of Jewelry" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At The Museum of Kyoto
Media:
Tiaras have decorated the heads of noble women like shining stars. Jewels are sprinkled on the structure like frosting. Only those with enough fortune and social status can wear them on a very special occasion. Hence, they have been referred to as the "accessory of awe."
The 108 tiaras displayed all contain narratives of women and their life stories. This is the first exhibition taking place in Japan focusing on tiaras.
