I recently had the opportunity to cover the Women’s Board of Field Museum gala and with that saw the entire Maharaja: The Splendor of India’s Royal Courts. The exhibit presents over 200 rare artifacts including elaborate jewelry, ornate weaponry, royal costumes, and stunning artworks. It’s a must see exhibit! The exhibit will run from October 17 through February 3, 2013. With that being said SociaLifeChicago is giving away 2 ADULT Tickets to see the Maharaja exhibit at the Field Museum.
Key artworks in Maharaja include exquisitely detailed paintings of royal processions, regalia worn by kings and queens, ceremonial daggers, swords and matchlock guns, hand-crafted instruments and boardgames, and prized photographs by Man Ray and Cecil Beaton. One extraordinary highlight is the Patiala necklace by Cartier which originally contained 2,930 diamonds (including the yellow 234.69-carat DeBeers diamond).
