If you missed the fabulous Maharaja exhibition at the V & A in London last year you can still catch it in Canada. The exhibition will explore the extraordinary culture of princely India, showcasing rich and varied objects that reflect different aspects of royal life. The show will feature paintings, photography, textiles and dress, jewellery, jewelled objects, metalwork and furniture. These sensational works will be explored within a broader historical context of princely life and ideals, patronage, court culture and alliances.
