A collection of treasures from Europe dating back to the 17th to 19th centuries will be displayed at Shandong Museum from April 28 to August 31.

These 90 rare pieces include snuffboxes, micromosaic artworks, as well as gold and silver vessels, which vividly reflect the lifestyle and social etiquette of the European court and nobility during that time.

The exhibition is sponsored by Shandong Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Founded in 1852, the Victoria and Albert Museum was named after the royal couple Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. It is most famous for its extensive collection of applied and decorative arts and design, as well as sculpture.
