The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore has an entirely AMAZING exhibit showing until January 4th, 2009. Bedazzled: 5,000 Years of jewelry. Taken from the site...
The Walters Art Museum is one of few museums in the world that can provide an array of exquisite jewelry from over 5,000 years of world history and from a vast spectrum of cultures. This exhibition of more than 200 highlights from the Walters’ collection-- many of them never displayed before-- presents the evolution of techniques and materials throughout the ages, and demonstrates the importance of jewelry as an expression of creativity, and often wealth and position. A special focus will be placed on finger rings throughout history, with important examples on loan from the distinguished collection of the New York gemologist Benjamin Zucker.
Admission to Bedazzled will be:
Adults: $8Seniors: $6College Students: #4Age 17 & under: free
I'm hopefully going to see it at some point this month..well, I don't have too much of a choice either. Definitely a must see!
