In an age where close observation of the beauty of plants is rare, this exhibition was designed to shine a new spotlight on their splendor. It features a variety of unique pieces, including not only historical artwork but also scientific objects. "Naturalism" is the identity of Chaumet's jewelry creations, and is shared by artists and scholars alike. Observed from this common perspective, the beauty of nature is sublimated and rediscovered through a botanical perspective. Unconstrained by the age or category of the works, visitors can enjoy the natural beauty unearthed by humankind for over 7,000 years.

The "Végétal" exhibition balances masterpieces by artists who celebrate "nature" with discoveries made by scientists. Historical masters such as Maria Sibylla Merian, Émile Gallé, Eugène Delacroix, Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Claude Monet, and Pierre-Joseph Redouté rub shoulders with contemporary artists such as Eva Jospin, Le Corbusier, and Anna Atkins.

In addition, approximately 80 art pieces from jewelry houses such as Chaumet will be on display, making for a truly spectacular exhibition.
