When Ann and I went to Atlanta and visited the High Museum one of the most impressive exhibits on display was the Samurai: Armor from the Collection of Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller. This collection was massive and was only a small part of their collection which amazed me. It is one of the largest exhibits outside of Japan and consists of more than one hundred fifty helmets, swords, and other objects spanning almost nine centuries. It includes 20 sets of complete armor. It was in a world – impressive.

The different layers of the armor are impressive, don’t you think?

Of course the horses had their own special attire as well as the warriors.

The display will continue through September 17, 2023 so if you are in the Atlanta area I would recommend stopping at the High Museum to see it. It is really stunning to see the craftsmanship and read all of the information that accompanies the displays. You can read more information about this exhibit by clicking here.
