Vever Jewellery Exhibition Opens at the Musée de La Cour d'Or in Metz on November 12: Nearly 200 Objects Trace the House Founded in 1821, Running to May 18, 2027
METZ, France — The Musée de La Cour d'Or in Metz opened its Vever jewellery exhibition on November 12, running to May 18, 2027. The exhibition, whose title translates as Metz Highlights: Vever, Exceptional Jewellers, 200 Years of Creation, takes as its subject the jewellery house born in Metz in 1821.
The story begins with Pierre-Paul Vever, who opened a jeweller's shop in the city in 1821. Three generations later, the house had become one of the great names of Art Nouveau.
The exhibition follows the house to the years 1925 to 1930, the close of its most brilliant period, by then Parisian. It closes on the seventh generation, whose contemporary pieces take their roots from the Art Nouveau work that came before.
Nearly 200 objects are shown, including jewels, preparatory drawings, archive material and works of art, with loans that trace how far the house reached in Europe and in the United States.
Admission to the museum is free for everyone. It opens from 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. every day except Tuesday. The address is 2 rue du Haut Poirier, 57000 Metz.
