The Mughal Empire was a kingdom founded in India by Babour, a descendant of Tamerlane, in 1526 and which in two centuries extended its influence over almost the entire territory of South Asia during the Islamic domination of the Indian subcontinent. Founded on feudal-type structures controlled by a central government, the Mughal Empire was one of the largest and richest economies in the world in that historical period and was characterized by a policy of religious tolerance towards Hinduism and other religions present in the region. Historically it marked the pinnacle of architecture and the arts in India with the construction of famous monuments such as the Taj Mahal. A major exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Hall celebrates its extraordinary creative output and internationalist culture during the era of its greatest emperors with the display of more than 200 objects, including rarely exhibited paintings, illustrated manuscripts, brilliantly colored carpets and delicate fabrics, as well as architectural pieces and vases made from mother-of-pearl, rock crystal, jade and precious metals.
Bvlgari Hotel London invites guests to experience a limited edition Tea, created in collaboration with sculptural artist Hannah Lim. Featuring reimagined tea stands inspired by her art as well as a menu of colourful, whimsical pastries created in collaboration with Executive Pastry Chef-in-Residence Salvatore Mungiovino, it's a stylish celebration of tradition, brought to life in the most unexpected way.
