Treasures From The Al Thani Collection – Masterpieces From A Royal Collection

More than just another cultural exhibition in a celebrated historic building, Masterpieces from a Royal Collection was to prove Colin Morris Associates’ creative and graceful demonstration of the harmonisation and self-assured poise of antiquity – a visual balance between the renown historic art civilisations and the architectural significance and decorative splendour of Beijing’s Forbidden City; one of the most remarkable world heritage sites.

This significant exhibition presented an elegant and broadly chronological presentation of global civilisations and artistry, from the early Egyptian dynasties, through to twentieth century Fabergé, while sensitively respecting this distinctly complex environment within which it was displayed.

The exhibition was opened by the His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Abdullah Al Thani of the Al Thani Collection Foundation, and Mr Luo Shugang, the Minister of Culture of the People’s Republic of China. It attracted beyond 15,000 visitors per day.
