Just two years after its reawakening and two centuries after its creation, the Maison lifts the veil on the fabulous history of its dynasty of jewelers, whose central figure is Henri Vever.
In the Vever showroom, transformed for the occasion into a cabinet of curiosities, this exhibition plunges you into the intimacy of the House, to the sound of previously unpublished testimonials from Henri Vever and critics of the time. You’ll discover exclusive jewels and objects on loan from family, friends and collectors. They have agreed to part with precious objects, jewels, medals, photographs, sculptures, drawings, paintings… for a few weeks, to allow you to enter into the intimacy of the Maison Vever.
