A collection of treasures from Europe dating from the 17th to 19th centuries will be displayed at the Shandong Museum in Jinan, Shandong province, starting on Friday. It will run to Aug 31.

The 90 rare pieces include snuffboxes, micromosaic art and gold and silver vessels, which vividly reflect the lifestyle and social etiquette of the European court and nobility of the period.
