L’ÉCOLE Opens Dubai Exhibition on Recreating an Iron Age Gold Necklace

The exhibition follows researchers and goldsmiths as they reconstructed the Torque of Montans, a Celtic neck collar made more than 2,000 years ago. A 24-karat gold replica is displayed alongside the tools and materials used to make it. Documentary films follow the reconstruction.
