Aubusson Tolkien tapestries

Ooooh, those tapestries look wonderful. I really hope to be able to see them there someday - I did get to see some at the BNF exhibition, but to see them "at home" would be fantastic.

Are the posters available to purchase online? I don't see any sort of shop on their website. Will try to reach out to them to ask.

They have an online store but unfortunately they dont sell Tolkien's posters and postcards for purchase online.

I might go there again in a couple of months if you're interested. They should have Smaug and Moria as posters by then.
Will let you know

Visited the Louvre-Lens museum in the North of France today - they are running an exhibition called ‘Fantastic Animals’ until next weekend - and to my surprise they had one of the Aubusson tapestries on loan. Very nice to see one of these in real life, beautifully detailed! Pity they did not sell any in the museum shop…!

The year 2024 will be marked by the exhibition “Aubusson weaves Tolkien. The Woven Adventure” which will celebrate the completion of the hanging. It will be held from June 29 to September 22, in the rooms of the old museum, at the Cultural and Artistic Center of Aubusson (Creuse).

Also, a catalogue is planned for June, available in 3200 copies (including 1200 in English), for more or less 150 pages and 100 illustrations.

Good lord, I obviously need to visit Aubusson (again!)
