  Garden & Cosmos : The Royal Paintings of Jodhpur

  An amazing exhibition of 17th-19th century paintings from the Royal Jodhpur ateliers travelled to the US, UK, and Australia. It attracted dazzling reviews, such as the excerpts below from Laura Cumming in The Observer, 21 May 2009:
  "The most intoxicating show of the year has just opened at the British Museum. Garden and Cosmos begins on Earth and eventually rises to the star-spangled heavens. The first half represents the worldly paradise of three maharajahs...the second half reaches far out into the soul of the universe."
  The exclusive products inspired by these extraordinary paintings continue to be among the most popular treasures in the Mehrangarh Museum Shop.
