How Cirque du Soleil Inspired the House of Boucheron to Create a Collection of Luxury Jewellery

April 1 to August 29, 2010

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is presenting, in a premiere, a spectacular private collection of twenty exceptional pieces of jewellery, the fruit of a collaboration between the Cirque du Soleil and Boucheron, one of the most distinguished firms in the Place Vendôme, Paris.

This outstanding group of works is the outcome of a partnership between two visionaries: Guy Laliberté, Founder of Cirque du Soleil, and Jean-Christophe Bédos, CEO of Boucheron. The presentation of these necklaces, set with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires and other gemstones that create exquisite harmonies of colours and shapes, provides a rare opportunity for the public to discover the creative process of fine jewellery. The display will include the original gouache drawings used for the execution of each piece, with explanations of the sources of the imagery and of the techniques employed.
