From 19 March to 24 August 2008

The event is exceptional! The collection Barbier-Muller, the most beautiful private collection of African and Oceanian art is in Paris till the 24th of August. The 100th anniversary of this collection belonging to the Swissman Jean-Paul Barbier-Muller will be celebrated in the Musée Jacquemart-André…

This extraordinary family collection has been gathered for 100 years by three passionate generations. It contains around 100 pieces (statues, masks, pendents, totems, headdresses, crests, swords, sceptres…), and uncomparable “gems” such as the Nigerian 12th century “Horseman Sceptre”. This collection is staying for five months in Paris, which will certainly make the art world quite envious. Don’t miss it!
