Last Chance for Maharaja Exhibit in London

For London-bound art and culture lovers, there's still time to view "Maharaja: The Splendour of India's Royal Courts" before it leaves the Victoria & Albert Museum on January 17. And there's no better choice in accommodations than 51 Buckingham Gate, Taj Suites and Residences. The luxury hotel is offering a Maharaja Package that includes an overnight stay for two, two tickets to the exhibit, and dinner at the nearby Bombay Brasserie. Prices for this very special package start from £311 per night.

Highlights of the exhibit include a recreation of an Indian royal procession with a life-sized model of a bejeweled elephant, and the Patiala Neckace, which once showcased 2,930 diamonds. Also on display are photographs, paintings, textiles and others jewels and jewel-encrusted objects.
