The Bibliothèque nationale de France exhibition "Tolkien, Voyage en Terre du Milieu" (Journey to Middle-earth) is in the final stages of preparation to open for the public Tuesday October 22nd. The exhibition catalogue has officially been released today, and copies are being shipped to those who pre-ordered.

Tickets are available to book online from the exhibition website, for those who are planning to visit. If you don't book in advance, there may be a wait before you are able to enter.

Here for your enjoyment are a few pictures of the preparations being made. I'm excited to travel this weekend to Paris!
