I had also the chance to be there, and to interview some people and take films :
I was lucky enough to talk with Adam and Royd Tolkien who shared with me their thoughts about the exhibition, and to talk and have a signature of Baillie Tolkien.
Having missed the opening because of Hellfest (hard rock & metal music festival), I still managed to go and see the exhibition on the way home and it was well worth the extra 2 hour drive.
The tour is short (4 large rooms) but that makes it more intense. It was a deeply moving moment for me, shared with my partner and 2 friends, to whom I explained all the details of the works on display.
EDIT : I forgot to mention that the tapestries had already been announced for Paris in 2025. (In addition, as the director of the institution says in the Tolkiendil video, they should also be exhibited in Oxford, and requests have been made for them to be shown in Edinburgh and Los Angeles.)

It's listed as shipping from Amazon Germany.
Looking at the Galignani site, I can't see an option for international shipping at the checkout, though their info page on international shipping says you can buy online. I guess it's a matter of emailing to purchase it another way? It may also be because I think I'm a tiny bit early before the actual publication (which is supposed to be 11th July i.e. today. Maybe I have to wait until 9am France time?)
