Well, we will just have to agree to disagree as to which side is the "wrong" one. ? And somehow find a way to get you over here!

That's great, thanks Urulókë for sharing!

For those of us on the "wrong" side of the ocean/planet, there will be a publication about the exhibition (see FAQ section: https://www.marquette.edu/library/news ... tolkien-exhibit-faq.php).

Wrong time of my life for this but I will happily take the exhibition catalog. If it is anything like Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth then it will be more valuable than the exhibition itself

The BnF catalogue was also very good, hopefully this one will be of a similar quality and content.
