Oh, and I forgot about #thegreatmughals at the #victoriaandalbertmuseum. I learned a lot. And beautiful things. The Taj Mahal mughals!!

Took a friend to #Cartier & #TheGreatMughals at #VictoriaAndAlbertMuseum Love being able to take friends with my Membership. Picked out some dazzling showstoppers at Cartier but it was very, very, busy. If I didn't have a membership & the ability to go back I think I might have felt disappointed.

Shah Jahan as King of the World, a Mughal miniature showing Shah Jahan in an orange outfit against a pale aquamarine background, greyed out crowds appreciating him from a distance.

A detail of the miniature of Shah Jahan as King of the World, showing a lamb licking a lion’s nose in friendliness, suggesting the peace that Shah Jahan’s reign has brought to the world.

Detail of a Mughal miniature painting showing squirrels in the branches of a tree against a gold background. Some of the leaves are yellow and orange as if just at the start of autumn.

Detail of a dagger handle made of transparent rock crystal and carved in the shape of a camel, inset with precious stones and gold in the shape of a bridle, and flowering plants up the neck.

“If there is paradise on earth, it is this, it is this, it is this!” - gorgeous afternoon at #TheGreatMughals exhibition @vamuseum.bsky.social. Beautiful things, astonishing craftsmanship, and example after example of global interconnections.

I wish you had made me the master of royals/Or made my crown the bowl for alms and betrayals/You should have made me mad, crazy only for you/Why make me wise, capable of denials?

Gorgeous fabrics & exquisite filigreed design at ‘The Great Mughals: Art, Architecture & Opulence’ at V&A, an exhibition charting a rich & fascinating period of cultural, religious & artistic diversity in Indian history. #TheGreatMughals #VandA

Lovely lunch-and-gallery catch-up with a friend yesterday. THE GREAT MUGHALS at the V&A was, indeed, great. #TheGreatMughals #ArtSky #London

Beautiful melding of Hindu & Muslim art & tradition in ‘The Great Mughals: Art, Architecture and Opulence’ exhibition at V&A with gorgeously illustrated texts, ornate chests & daggers, & lush floor coverings. This elegant collision of cultures is as heartening as it is opulent. #TheGreatMughals

Beautiful exhibition @Victoria and Albert Museum #TheGreatMughals

The jewels of the Mughal emperors - currently on display at the V&A, London.

#gems #treasure #thegreatmughals

Looking at art, architecture, and opulence (true to its name) under the emperors Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan, the V&A's The Great Mughals exhibition doesn't just meet expectations, it exceeds them! A truly perfect show.
