Coming Up This Weekend: Golden Animals, Duck and Waffle, Artsy Pop-Ups

Van Cleef & Arpels exhibition

L’École Van Cleef & Arpels is ongoing at PMQ until March 14. While the jewellery and watchmaking classes and evening conversations require advanced reservations, the museum collection is free for the public to enjoy. Enter into the curious world of Van Cleef & Arpels, and marvel at the array of historical creations from the French maison, from Japanese lacquer butterflies, to tiny golden animal brooches and exquisite lady purses called the Minaudières.
