Liechtenstein’s LGT Group is playing a key role in promoting the exhibition ‘Princely Treasures from the House of Liechtenstein’ at the National Museum of Singapore starting on 27 June, 2013.
The Princely Collections contain major works of European art spanning five centuries and are among the most important private collections in the world. Dating back to the seventeenth century, they are rooted in the Baroque ideal of princely patronage of the arts. For generations, the House of Liechtenstein has consistently nurtured this ideal, systematically adding to the collection’s holdings in keeping with an active acquisitions policy which continues to this day.
