Crystal experts Swarovski have just celebrated 120 years in the business. To celebrate, the company held a lavish gala dinner and reopened their newly expanded Kristallwelten, or Crystal Worlds museum, at the company’s headquarters in Austria’s Tyrolean Alps.

Initially opened in 1995 to mark Swarovski’s centennial anniversary, multimedia artist Andre Heller designed the attraction which draws millions of visitors each year. Step inside the museum to see crystal reimagined in all its sparkling forms by artists and designers in the shape of light installations and sculptures.

For those in the market for crystals of their own, there's the world's largest selection of Swarovski products at a dedicated store located at the end of The Chamber of Wonder. Flick through our pictures to see more or click here for more information.
