Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Museum : The Samurai Collection

Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller began acquiring art of the samurai over thirty years ago and the collection is now one of the largest of its type in the world. The family has selectively built the collection with an intense focus on artistic detail and sculptural quality. The objects, which range in date from the fifth to nineteenth century, are presented within the Museum in a variety of rotating exhibitions—each one exploring an intriguing aspect of Japanese warrior culture. Additionally, a large exhibition of the samurai armor is currently touring through the United States, Canada, South America, and Europe.
