The exhibition comprises four thematic sections. Featuring approximately 300 stunning treasures created by Cartier, the exhibition showcases precious jewellery, timepieces, objects, accessories and archival records from the 19th century to the present day. The first section, “Royal and Aristocratic Women: Elegance and Prestige”, celebrates the significant role the royal and elite women played in the early history of Cartier in the 19th century.The second section, “New Women: Breaking with Tradition”, examines advances in jewellery design that reflected women’s emancipation.The Third Section, “Inquisitive Women: Cross-cultural Inspirations”, The influence of art from China and other parts of the world that enlivened Cartier creations for women and fulfilled a universal thirst for novelties are explored in this section,The fourth and final section, “Influential Women: Glamorous Legends”, explores the close relationship between Cartier jewellery and modern and contemporary female icons. Highlights include pieces from the collections of important and well-known women, including the Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly (1929-1982); renowned actresses Elizabeth Taylor (1932-2011), Brigitte Lin and Carina Lau; and businesswoman Pansy Ho.“Cartier and Women” unveils fascinating stories of the close relationship between women and jewellery. It also highlights how Chinese art, along with art from other parts of the world, has inspired the jeweller in terms of style and decorative motifs, as well as techniques and materials, and how Chinese aesthetics have influenced women's lifestyles and global fashion. The exhibition demonstrates the HKPM’s innovative curatorial approach and testifies to its mission to facilitate cross-disciplinary collaboration and encourage dialogue between China and the rest of the world in arts and culture.

The story of Jeanne Toussaint (1887-1976) is one of the highlights.

Founded in 2011, Tokyo- and London-based A.A. Murakami is a duo of Alexander Groves (b. 1983) and Azusa Murakami (b. 1984). Working across a range of disciplines, including sculpture, installation, film and digital art, the duo creates spectacular scenes that take their science-based inquiry to the next level. The exhibition features two immersive, interconnected installations that offer an otherworldly experience: in the first, rings of fog travel through space into the digital realm; in the second, clouds of floating bubbles drift overhead. Using ephemeral materials and innovative use of specially developed technology, these two large-scale installations inspire viewers to philosophically ponder the nature of reality and artificial constructions, and question the growing importance of digital life in today's society. The exhibition will expand on the concept of "ephemeral technology" pioneered by the duo, using innovative technological research to reimagine the beginning of everything while envisioning possible future scenarios.

Chinese civilisation is ancient, profound, and enduring, standing as the the world's longest continuous civilisation. In 2002, the country launched the “Project to Trace the Origins of Chinese Civilisation” (the Project), which has yielded remarkable results over the past two decades, mapping out the historical trajectory of the origins of Chinese civilisation. The Project, through archaeological surveys and studies, has showcased the tangible continuity of the civilisation and the diversity of its origins. It reveals how different regions and cultures interacted with one another, and eventually merged into a cohesive whole, forming the “diversity in unity” developmental pattern of the Chinese people. This exhibition features the excavates of the Project as well as important archaeological discoveries in the centennial modern Chinese archaeology. Over one hundred exhibits come from fourteen archaeological institutions and museums in the Mainland and Hong Kong, covering nine archaeological cultures and nine major archaeological sites. It is one of the most comprehensive exhibitions in recent years dedicated to exploring the origins and achievements of Chinese civilisation. The exhibition is jointly organised by the HKPM and Art Exhibitions China, and sponsored by Bank of China (Hong Kong), the Museum’s strategic partner.

Beginning 26 September, Hauser & Wirth will present ‘Exotica,’ a solo exhibition of new, formally innovative works by Mark Bradford. In an exhibition that extends the artist’s recent formal and thematic investigations while pushing his practice towards distinctly new inventions, Bradford probes the enduring impact of colonialism and concepts of ‘otherness’ through the lens of individual experience.

This exhibition aims to create a quiet refuge where art is a temporary escape from the collective depression of the audience. Each work in the exhibition is made of natural materials, from minerals, dust, soil, to ice and fossils. In the exhibition, geological changes across a wide time dimension are juxtaposed with rapid and drastic social changes. Echoes from "deep time" soothe our fatigue in the daily hustle and bustle. The word "dust" in the title of the exhibition refers to the basic components of matter, and "sons of dust" comes from a well-known theory: the elements that make up the human body and matter come from supernova explosions. In other words, we, like the dust, ice and metal used in the works, are fragments of the vast history of the universe. We are all children of dust.
