Maharaja: Splendour of India’s Royal Courts @ The V&A

I can’t tell you how much I wish I was in London to see this exhibition! I’ve always loved Indian jewelry and textiles, and had the chance to see some last month in New York.V&A2I’ve been getting e-mails the past few weeks from the Victoria & Albert Museum announcing their new exhibition, Marahaja: Splendour of India’s Royal Courts, which looks like it is going to be amazing. The exhibit is open until January 10, 2010. V&A 1Many of the 250 pieces are on loan to the V&A from India’s royal courts and this is the first time they’ve ever been lent. V&A7 The pieces date from the 18th through the 20th century. V&A4If you have some time, take a look at the V&A’s micro-site specially created for the Maharaja exhibition. V&A3 It’s very informative, and filled with beautiful images.

    Would definitely be a must see - if I were in London that is. Another reason to be living there!
