The Art of Performance celebrates Swarovski’s longstanding relationship with Hollywood’s top entertainers and creatives. This Chamber of Wonder is an immersive presentation of Swarovski’s rich history in the world of entertainment, iconic outfits from the screen and the stage will be exhibited against a dazzling backdrop celebrating the brilliance of Swarovski Crystals.

In this landmark exhibition, curated by famed wardrobe designer Michael Schmidt and dreamt up by award-winning set designer Derek McLane, a timeline of illustrious history is explored.

From costume design and red-carpet creations to global sporting events, Swarovski has inspired generations through its collaborations with world-renowned designers and artists. Schmidt found himself spoilt for choice when he started to select the pieces that would go into the exhibition, saying "As a creative, utilizing Swarovski Crystal gives you infinite opportunities to express yourself. When you think about all the impactful moments throughout cultural history that Swarovski has been a part of, it’s truly incredible. From Dorothy’s ruby slippers to Simone Biles’ attire when winning all her gold medals, these moments are all covered in Swarovski Crystal.”
