The exhibition 'Master of Light: From Vienna to Milan' takes everyone on a journey back to 1895, the year Swarovski, one of Europe's oldest jewellery brands, was established in Austria. This exhibition showcases remarkable works from Swarovski's inception to the present, inviting exploration of the brand's rich heritage and inspiring creativity through outstanding craftsmanship. The exhibition unfolds through a panoramic view divided into seven wondrous rooms, curated by Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert, the creative director of Swarovski.

The highlight of the exhibition is the collaboration with fashion brands, showcasing over 50 crystal-adorned garments by Swarovski, including designs from Prada, Miu Miu, Gucci, Fendi, Versace, and so on. This exhibition also features iconic stage and red carpet costumes from the Swarovski Heritage Collection, worn by global celebrities such as Harry Styles, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Doja Cat.

Another highlight is the unveiling of the latest jewellery collection 'Galaxy' from Swarovski Created Diamonds, as well as the pop-up store and café in the garden of Palazzo Citterio, which will serve crafted menus by renowned chef, Carlo Cracco.

Furthermore, at the event, Thai celebrity 'Blue Pongtiwa', a Friend of Swarovski, also attended the exhibition showcasing his stylish look adorned with Swarovski jewellery, including a Dextera pearl necklace, Millenia clip earrings, Idylia brooch, Mesmera pendant, Hyperbola bracelet, and Vittore ring.
