1 review of Maharaja Exhibition

Indian splendour

Maharaja means great king, and carries all the splendor of these wealthy rulers of India. The image we have all of the turbans, decadent jewels, immense wealth, there are tales. The Maharajas exhibition in the Victoria and Albert Museum recreates the life of these princes, from the seventeenth century to English colonization and modern times. They had an important role, at the political and cultural level. The exhibition explores the extensive culture. Admission is 11 pounds, if you come by train and present your ticket, get two tickets for the price of one. In one of the first rooms is a reconstitution of elephant, almost of actual size, with ornaments of the Maharajas.

Everything has a meaning, to establish the power of the Lord. The Mughal Empire was the most important, but in the eighteenth century it began to fall. The kingdoms were reorganized, with Sikhs and Marathas gaining power. The drawings of their lives, parties, jewelry, are amazing. I liked the jewels commissioned from Cartier or Louis Vuitton once fashions passed the border, as they tried to combine their traditions with modernity and the arrival of the British, they retained their splendor, but lost their political role. It takes 4 hours to see everything in total.
