Haute jeweler Bulgari dazzled media, celebrities and VIP guests at the opening for its retrospective exhibition last Saturday at the National Museum of China.

The seven-gallery show, “125 Years of Italian Magnificence,” displays more than 600 pieces of fine jewelry, watches and other precious objects that document the legacy of the brand, from its inception in the late-nineteenth century to the present day.

Award-winning architect Frank Gehry was in town over the weekend for the official opening of “Frank Gehry. Architect”, a Sanlitun Village North exhibition surveying the highlights of his 40-year-plus career. The exhibition features photos and sketches of some of Gehry’s key projects, as well as exhibits illustrating various aspects of the architect’s technique, including his pioneering use of computers. A whole corner, complete with a scale model, is devoted to Gehry’s most celebrated project, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
