“These are works of art,” gushes Pierre Terjanian enthusiastically, as he walks me through some of the more than 14,000 spectacular objects from Europe, Japan, the Moslem world and the Americas in the Arms and Armor collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. “I see these objects differently each time I look at them. It’s an invitation to find out more about them,” he relates, his eyes glowing with excitement.
