Gakusee Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 Jean, thank you for transporting us there. Incredible and outstanding exhibition. Quote
EdWolf Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 Very impressive! Thanks for sharing. Best regards, Ed Quote
vajo Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 I like that style very much. Very nice pictures Jean! Thanks for sharing it. 1 Quote
Sly Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 To add to Jean, The catalogue of the exhibition is worth its price. Nice pictures and explanation both in french and english. If you could'nt attend the exhibition, go for it ! Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 Magnificent! Thanks for all the great photos Jean. -StevenK Quote
Luc T Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 This exhibition was a big surprise for the Japanese boardmembers of the NKBKHK. I enjoyed the stories behind the armours, told by our Japanese friends... great exhibition! Quote
Jean Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Posted March 7, 2018 I was very lucky, very few people at the exhibition so I could take pictures with my small ipad. This exhibition displays armours from French Museums and private collections. 2 Quote
Guido Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 Thanks for the pics, Jean! "Get 15% discount on your first order if you subscribe to our newsletter" - great deal, done. And when I typed in the coupon code during check-out, I got the message "this order does not qualify for a discount" . Ordered the catalog anyhow ... 1 Quote
Jean Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Posted March 8, 2018 The exhibition was held in 3 different locations very close from each other. I began by Musée Guimet, the only one which had a bookshop and was so concerned by the weather (it was raining cats and dogs) that I totally forgot to buy the catalogue .. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 Many thanks for the multiple photos Jean. What a wonderful exhibition. With Guido's warning above in mind, I am considering ordering the catalogue for this. (Was there a description regarding the large black-lacquer gun above?) Quote
Luc T Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 Piers, I know the owner, i,can bring you in contact with him if you want. He certainly knows a lot about it. 1 Quote
myochin Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 Piers, the teppô is a 100 momme ! The signature mentions the name of the school, the owner, the gunsmith, the inlayer and the stock maker. Circa 1810. For the exhibition I recommend that you start at the Hotel d'Heidelbach (150m to the right of the Guimet Museum), you can buy your ticket at a vending machine (credit cards only). Then proceed to the Guimet Museum, 4th floor On your way out purchase your copy of the catalogue Cross the road to the Palais de Tokyo for the final part The ticket (if I understand correctly) is valid for 2 days Paul 1 Quote
Jean Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Posted March 8, 2018 Concerning the catalogue price and the 15% discount mentionned, I had totally forgotten the Jack Lang Law; former French Minister Lang had a law voted forbidding any discount on book prices because small bookshops/stationeries were closing due to internet competition or big companies as Amazon. Quote

Well, since this book isn't sold on Amazon (or anywhere else for that matter), there's no need to "protect" the museum shop. It also would have been only fair to state that the discount doesn't apply to books. And btw, the shipping fees are rather expensive, too. In any case, it's not your fault, I just thought that I should mention it, so pontential buyers aren't as surprised as I was. 1 Quote
Luc T Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 anyway, the book is a must-have. The price is still cheap for such a work full with top-material. 2 Quote

But i think the price is not expensive for a full colored book over 200 sites. Best Chris Quote
Guido Posted April 22, 2018 Report Posted April 22, 2018 Quote Thank you for your order n.193943, placed on March 8, 2018 01:23 at www.boutiquesdemusees.fr An email will be sent to you to inform you that your order has been shipped. So far no e-mail (and no catalog). SAD! Quote
Jean Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Posted April 22, 2018 I am very afraid there won’t be any reprint but I am very surprised as I ordered my copy between the 8th and 10 th March Quote
Guido Posted April 22, 2018 Report Posted April 22, 2018 So you didn‘t get a catalog either? Damn, I should have taken the offer from that Nigerian prince instead of wasting money on a non-existant catalog! Quote
Jean Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Posted April 22, 2018 No I received it, that is why I am surprised you did not get it as we ordered at the same time. But as time passes, I am more pessimistic... Quote
DaveT Posted April 22, 2018 Report Posted April 22, 2018 I'll be there on Tuesday, I'll have a look and see if there are any catalogues on sale.I have one already, so if they have them I'll pick a few up for others. Quote
