Default Exhibit : Central Africa knives and shields

Opening in one month, the 5 december, of the exhibit I organize in Lille (France):
ÂMES DE FORMES, FORMES DE LAMES
Central Africa knives and shields.



More than 100 knives, daggers, swords, throwing knives from Chad, Cameroon, Gabon, Congo (RDC and Brazza),Centralafrica rep from my collection will be presented.
http://lulef.free.fr/html/exposition.html

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.

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

Congratulations - looks a fine show.

Regret I probably can't make it to Lille to have a look.

Regards
Colin

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