Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller collection in Quebec City

[b.hennick]

WOW! This is a great exhibit or armour that was recently shown in Paris. Now at the Museum of Civilization in Quebec City is a wonderful exhibit of armour. This exhibit runs until January 27 2013. It is well worth the trip. Quebec City itself is a very nice place to visit. Here is a link to my photos (no flash) of the exhibit. Many similar photos have been posted of the exhibit while in Paris.

Thanks for posting Barry,

 

I really like the Fukurokuju hachi (Images 94 & 95).

Great Pictures Barry, some hidden photography skills there.

 

Thank you for making the exhibit visible to the rest of us, I still haven't had the time to make it down to Quebec City to see it, but after your feedback I'll be gassing up the car very soon!

 

Take care!

I believe this is the museum catalog for this display.

It is, but there is also a catalogue produced by the Museum in Quebec. It was back ordered when I was there. The hardcover book is certanly worthwhile - a great buy for the photos and content.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing. I think I could make room for such stuff.

I bought the book Grey referenced above and it arrived today. It is a must have! Unbelievable... I now have a new mission in life, to make it to TX to see what they have.

For anyone interested in armour, the Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Collection catalog is extremely good for the price.

Thanks for posting Barry. Based on the last couple of shots, I don't think that any of it would fit you man!
