My 16th Century mouse went on display at the Kunstsammlungen der Veste Coburg in Germany today! It’s so amazing to see my work so well displayed. This has been a dream to see my work in a museum context like this! #jeffdeboer #kunstsammlungendervestecoburg #mousearmour #smallsculpture #armourer

Today I finished the prototype 16th century mouse that is going to be on exhibition at the Kunstsammlungen der Veste Coburg for two years! This museum is a German castle that has one of the best preserved armour collections from the period. I am doing an edition of 12 if you’re interested in one.
