• Håbu, Anne & Norheim, Per Terje (2023). Samurai. Denne katalogen ble laget til utstillingen «Samurai» på Historisk museum i perioden 15. juni - 31. desember 2023. Kulturhistorisk museum, Universitetet i Oslo Seksjon for samlingsforvaltning. Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  «Denne katalogen ble laget til utstillingen «Samurai» på Historisk museum i perioden 15. juni - 31. desember 2023. Den inkluderer beskrivelser av alle de krigsrelaterte gjenstandene som var utstilt: samurairustninger, hjelmer, stakevåpen, buer, geværer, sverd og dolker. Utstilte gjenstander som representerer samuraien som privatmann fra den herskende samfunnsklasse er ikke med i katalogen. Gjenstandene fra museets Japan-samling er supplert med gjenstander fra en norsk privatsamling. En kort introduksjon oppsummerer samuraiens rolle gjennom Japans historie fra 1000-tallet frem til slutten av 1800-tallet da samuraikulturen opphørte. Den har også oppslag med temaene sverdtesting, en rustning donert av polaroppdageren Roald Amundsen, seppuku eller harakiri, det å ta hodetrofeer i kamp, og to sjeldne, bemalte ruller i museets eie. Katalogen er rikt illustrert. This catalogue was written as a supplement to the exhibition «Samurai» shown at the Historical Museum in Oslo from 15 June to 31 December 2023. It includes descriptions of all the objects related to warfare: suits of armour, helmets, pole weapons, guns, swords and daggers. Objects representing the samurai as a private person from the commanding class of society are not included in the catalogue. The artifacts from the museum’s Japan collection are supplemented with objects from a Norwegian private collection. A short introduction sums up the samurai’s role throughout Japanese history, from the 11th century until the end of the 19th century, when the samurai era came to an end. It includes the themes sword testing, a suit of armour donated by the polar explorer Roald Amundsen, the custom of taking a fallen enemy’s head, ritual suicide, and two rare scrolls in the museum’s collection. The catalogue is richly illustrated.

• Håbu, Anne (2011). Revealing history through museum collections- How the Ring collection of Bencharong in Oslo sheds light on Norwegian maritime engagement in the Kingdom of Siam. Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  Abstract: In 2006 an exquisite collection of the rare and beautiful Bencharong ceramics was re-discovered in the Ethnographic collection of the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo. Three years later the author undertook an investigation of the collection. Archival research in the museum revealed letters from the donor, which, in addition to interesting details concerning the donation, unearthed the existence of an additional unknown Bencharong collection in the National Museum. The research that followed in the wake of these discoveries led to the unveiling of a relatively unknown episode in the Norwegian maritime history, the presence of Norwegian naval officers in the Royal Siamese Navy around the turn of the last century. This paper will introduce the Bencharong collection in Oslo, the person behind its existence and the circumstances that contributed to this dazzling example of Siamese aesthetic expression ending up in Norway.
