科学与艺术的交集是人文学科中一个迷人的领域，而其魅力早在数百年前便吸引了欧洲皇室的注意，并在他们的资助下获得了丰富而具体的呈现。
通过汇集来自全球多家顶级收藏机构的150多件珍宝，大都会博物馆的此次展览探索了艺术、科学与政权在近现代欧洲宫廷中的交汇。在那里的16至18世纪之间，出现了一股蔚为可观的创造力和治学精神，造就了工艺精美且具有先进技术成分的“奇”物。通过大量收集这些技艺精湛的物品，皇室成员们彰显了自身的富足以及他们对已知世界的掌控。然而这些物品并不仅仅是身份的象征，而在诸多方面，如天文学、工程学、甚至国际政治中代表了重要的进步。
图录中专家学者们犀利透彻的论文，将这些器物重置于它们丰盈而繁复的宫廷背景和寓意之中，由此让读者看到科学与光辉在那里受到了同样的追捧，并且共同缔造了璀璨的文化。

Between 1550 and 1750, nearly every royal family in Europe assembled vast collections of valuable and entertaining objects. Such lavish public spending and display of precious metals was considered an expression of power. Many princes also believed that the possession of artistic and technological innovations conveyed status, and these objects were often prominently showcased in elaborate court entertainments, which were characteristic of the period.
Making Marvels explores the complex ways in which the wondrous items collected by early modern European princes, and the contexts in which they were displayed, expressed these rulers' ability to govern. Approximately 170 objects—including clocks, automata, furniture, musical instruments, jewelry, paintings, sculptures, print media, and more—from both The Met collection and over fifty lenders worldwide are featured. Visitors will discover marvelous innovations that engaged and delighted the senses of the past, much like twenty-first-century technology holds our attention today—through suspense, surprise, and dramatic transformations.
