Gems Are a Highlight of an Exhibition on the Mughals
Briefly

The Great Mughals: Art, Architecture and Opulence exhibition showcases the legacy of three Mughal emperors—Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan—highlighting their contribution to the arts.
The show presents an array of treasures, including a rare red spinel inscribed with emperors' names, a jade wine cup, and a stunning 110-carat emerald, illustrating Mughal opulence.
Curator Susan Stronge emphasized that the Mughal Empire, one of history's most refined courts, facilitated the fusion of Hindu and Muslim artistic traditions during its prosperous reign.
Art flourished under Akbar’s rule due to the empire's stability and wealth, attracting skilled artists and craftsmen, leading to an enduring legacy of exquisite art and architecture.
