A lot of CRE moguls collect art, but few have a cooler collection than the objects in Samurai! Armor from the Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Collection, which made its US debut on Sunday at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Our DFW reporter was on vacation in Boston last week and spotted this promo wrap. Gabriel is the Dallas-based Harwood International CEO and is at the helm of the 17-block Harwood district (which includesfive office buildings, a residential tower, and plans for a sixth office building)in that city.

We snapped Gabriel last year with this samurai horse calvacade. His samurai collection has galloped to museums in Paris and Quebec City and now, for the first time, the traveling exhibit will be on display in the US in Boston through Aug. 4. In all, 700,000 have seen the collection to date. Many of these priceless works are usually on display at Harwood properties.

It was a long time coming, but the Ann & Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Museum: The Samurai Collection opened last month in the historic St. Ann's School in Dallas. It's one of the world's only museums dedicated to samurai art. Pictured is one of the 140 pieces that will be on display at the MFA, which features objects from the 10th to 19th centuries, including samurai suits of armor, helmets, masks, horse armor, and weaponry.
