Hi! Everyone!

Dear Ganjawulung

Thanks for the invitation; I'll email you my details in Jakarta.

Regarding the Trocadero Musée de l'homme, it does not exist anymore.
The Collection has been mixed with the tribal art museum's and placed in the Quai Branly Museum. This last is a great museum but mostly turned on the tribal side, when keris are considered here more classical asian artefact. I succeeded in selling a few keris handle to them three years ago, but nothing ever since. I have also tried to make a big exhibition on keris with them but it doesn't progress...

The Guimet Museum is more Asian oriented, but has only one keris.

You find more keris and nicer one in private collections rather than in museum. But I have not said my last word....

In any case Paris museums are great and worth visiting. Anybody who needs tips or whatever on them can let me know
