Title: Exposition of Playing Cards and Gaming Objects
Post by: 52plusjoker on January 06, 2015, 04:18:19 PM

For those fortunate to be in Paris between now and April 26th, there is a wonderful exposition of playing cards, games, etc. taking place at the Musee Francais de la Carte a Jouer. Below is a link to the site. The exposition is of many rare old packs and other objects from the fabulous collection of Jean Verame. Many items in his collection are presented in a recently published book, Les Tres Beaux Objets du Jeu. The site and the book are well worth checking out.
