The recent Cartier exhibit, with its well-documented pieces and historical context, is a standout.

“Terrific art show”
Visited the Cartier exhibit yesterday. The pieces were stunning and organized well by decade, with signs explaining what was happening in both the arts and politics. Lovely photos showed the jewelry being worn by its different owners. Definitely worth seeing.
