SAMURAI: Armor from the Collection of Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller unveils the culture, lifestyle, and art of the samurai warrior in Japanese society. The exhibition spans almost nine centuries of Samurai armor, from the Kamakura period (1185-1333) to the Edo period (1603-1868), and includes nearly 80 objects – full suits, helmets, weaponry, and full horse armor – all used for both combat and ceremonial purposes. For this exhibition I leaned into the beauty and mystery of samurai culture to create a visually striking and memorable experience for museum visitors.
