This exhibition is a large-scale project featuring 208 carefully selected pieces from Kazumi Arikawa's extensive collection, offering a comprehensive overview of 5,000 years of jewelry history from ancient times to the present. Notably, it unveils for the first time the Renaissance master Valerio Belli's "Cross," and displays treasure-level jewelry of historical figures such as Napoleon, Queen Victoria, and Catherine the Great, divided into nine sections.

Lotte Museum collaborated with Joy Museum to create the program "Historical Exploration with Jewels, Making My Own Jewelry" to utilize this exhibition as a cultural education opportunity for children. Held twice a day every weekend, this program allows children to learn about the history and symbolism of jewelry from various eras and to develop creativity by making stone watercolor paintings and jewelry trees. Families wishing to participate can apply through the Joy Museum Naver reservation page.
