Tolkien Maker of Middle-earth exhibition at Paris BNF 2019

Excellent news. And it fits in perfect with my trip to Paris for Ludovico Einaudi in November. Paris in November is wonderful, add in a Tolkien exhibit, a couple of great concerts and it will be memorable time indeed.

Very nice indeed! Will certainly have another visit.

Some more info on the exhibition, https://c.bnf.fr/C5G, nice to see that 4 tapestries from Aubusson are also on display at this event.

You may prefer the English version :)

Asked the Tolkien archivists at the Marquette and the Bodleian, while I was at Tolkien 2019 this week, about the exhibition in Paris, https://www.bnf.fr/fr/agenda/tolkien-voyage-en-terre-du-milieu, if anyone has an English version of this can you post the link.

As they have a lot more space in Paris, they are taking more and different items from the Marquette and the Bodleian, than were shown in Oxford or New York, by all accounts a lot more, especially Lord of the Rings manuscripts as an example.

I am hoping to go to see this, but if you can not go, then it will be a completely new catalogue for the exhibition from Maker of Middle-earth, available from the Paris BF, so you will probably want to get this as well as Maker of Middle-earth.

That sounds extremely exciting! Will definitely try to pay a visit!
