Around the World in 33 Objects

This collection is the result of nearly 40 years of travel across more than 85 countries, spanning every continent.

 

Each object carries a story—of how it was made, how it was used, whether it was cherished or discarded, and the beliefs or historical moments that shaped it.

Together, these pieces reflect the richness and diversity of cultures around the world. They offer glimpses into different ways of life, while also revealing that human experiences, no matter where they originate, are often more alike than they are different.

“For us, these mementos are far more than objects. They are reminders of unforgettable journeys, meaningful encounters, and the perspectives that only travel can bring”.

If you have a collection which you think would look good in our community cabinet, please contact our collections manager.
