1 hour from London with Eurostar, 30mn from Brussels with TGV, easy for the collectors from GB, Belgium and Holland to come and visit this exhibit and Lille.
A collector's meeting will be organized 1 hour before the Opening.
It will be a pleasure for me to meet you.

You can also visit the Palais des Beaux Arts de Lille which is one of Europe’s greatest museum.
Just in front my exhibit !

A catalog is ready.

Superbe
 
Hi Luc,
Superb. A collection that I put at the same level as the one of the British Museum.
By the way, do you know that in the Island of Aix in front of Rochefort ( France) there is a small Museum on African weapons that is quite interesting.
Bravo
Regards
Michel

Superb display. The one with the matrix engraved on the blade does seem familiar.
