Overview

Open Time：10:00am – 5:00pm
Valid Date: 12 Jun – 4 Oct 26. (You can visit the Exhibition once during the valid date.)
In 2026, the NGV presents CARTIER, a landmark exhibition featuring more than 300 extraordinary objects – from precious jewels and historic gemstones to iconic watches and clocks – that trace the evolution of Cartier’s enduring legacy in art, design and craftsmanship.
Spanning the Maison’s early years at the turn of the 20th century through to its most contemporary creations, the exhibition brings together some of Cartier’s most iconic pieces, such as the panther brooch, the mystery clock and the Tank watch. Design drawings from the Cartier archives illuminate the creative process behind the works, offering a rare glimpse into their exceptional craftsmanship.
The exhibition has been created by the V&A, London, in partnership with the National Gallery of Victoria and in collaboration with Cartier and features loans from private and institutional collections across Europe, the United States and Asia, alongside highlights from the Cartier Heritage Collection.
The exhibition design is a collaboration between NGV, Studio Sabine Marcelis and CLOUD, two multidisciplinary design practices based in Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
