Louvre Abu Dhabi explores Islamic inspiration behind Cartier’s historic designs



ABU DHABI: It is a razzle dazzle affair at the Louvre Abu Dhabi where visitors are being wowed by the ongoing exhibition “Cartier: Islamic Inspiration and Modern Design,” running until March 24.

 Aside from showcasing the French luxury brand’s sparkling gems, the main idea of the exhibition is to examine how Islam-related art and the visual culture of “the Orient” — from Africa to Persia and India — historically influenced the unique craftsmanship of Cartier from the early 20th century onwards.
