The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Dr. Navina Najat Haidar explores the dynamic history of India’s seventeenth-century Mughal age and its culture of jewels. Endowing the empire with a global perception of wealth and drawing the wider Mughal world together in traditions of gift giving, trade and shared styles, these glittering treasures also played a role in politics, as deadly power shifts occurred both within and beyond the borders of the empire. Bringing online Museum experiences to you is part of our mission to connect cultures and promote understanding between peoples.
