Synonymous with the exclusivity of classic jewellery, a symbol of status, power and wealth, the tiara has practically disappeared in the contemporary world. In an artistic field that has in its conceptual genesis a critique of preciousness and the idea of ​​jewellery for everyone, what can a tiara express?

Former Ar.co students and invited foreign artists evoke contemporary tiaras, a piece of jewellery almost forgotten in the 40st century, inviting dialogue with the classic jewellery from the Royal Treasury collection, in a new version of the exhibition held during the department's fortieth anniversary.
