SOLD OUT! Exclusive private viewing for
" Bvlgari Kaleidos Colors, Cultures and Crafts"
Dear Harvard Club Members,
We are delighted to invite you to an exclusive private viewing of the exhibition "Bvlgari Kaleidos: Colors, Cultures, and Crafts," which opens at the National Art Center in Tokyo on September 17.
About the Exhibition
"Bvlgari Kaleidoscope of Colors, Cultures, and Crafts" is the Maison’s first exhibition in Japan in ten years and its largest in the country. This exhibition is a kaleidoscopic journey into its vibrant world of colors and showcases nearly 350 chromatic masterpieces drawn from the Heritage Collection and private lenders, spanning from historic masterpieces to contemporary artworks.
Visitors will move through three thematic chapters—The Science of Color, Color Symbolism, and The Power of Light—experiencing Bvlgari’s bold use of gemstones, rare metals, and immersive design alongside installations by artists such as Lara Favaretto, Mariko Mori, and Akiko Nakayama.
The scenography, crafted in collaboration with Japanese firm SANAA and Italian creatives Formafantasma, transforms the space into a sensory exploration of shape, translucency, and the interplay of light and material. It highlights pieces like the “Seven Wonders” emerald necklace and polychrome cabochon-cut jewels, alongside interactive media that invite visitors to reflect on beauty, culture, and craftsmanship across Italian and Japanese traditions
