Collection Story

Aviation

Equality

This important theme at The Little Museum of the World is represented by a Madiba children’s book signed by Nelson Mandela, a commissioned painting by French artist The Blind with braille based on the famous Little Prince’s quote “The most beautiful things in the world are felt with the heart”. Another commissioned photo was done on the same quote by talented French photographer Jennifer Lescouët in sign language.

Marine Life

A very blue corner with a mural of manatees and sea turtles by Finnish artist Riita Kuisma, an artwork painted underwater by famed Calypso member André Laban, a Fabrice Guérin photo of sperm whales in Mauritius, and an exclusively signed photo for The Little Museum of the World from the fantastic oceanographer and humanist François Sarano. A 1940’s Italian diving helmet, a 1900’s wood console marine map, and a ship’s navigation binnacle bring even more authenticity to this space.

Environment

Two strong symbols with a giant tiger plush toy and a massive original elephant photo by Italian photographer Federico Veronesi dominate a table with a signed book by Jane Goodall, a real tiger’s paw print casted in India, a pangolin toy made in the Central African Republic, and several examples of simple solutions that can help communities benefit from their environment.

Sport

How sports are more and more at the center of Peace is obvious. The Little Museum of the World has gathered signed iconic shirts of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant, Barcelona, Manchester United, and Real Madrid. Signed photos and balls by the Williams sisters, Borg, McEnroe, Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic come face to face with gloves signed by the great Muhammad Ali and an original 19th-century child’s penny-farthing. An autographed photo by Jesse Owens brings the Olympic spirit alive while a football recovered from a bombed sports ground in Ukraine called “The Football of Peace” reminds us that nothing should be taken for granted.

war

While past wars have brought horror to the world, there are still too many ongoing wars which bring desperation and suffering to people. Afghan street artist Shamsia Hassani’s signed prints just show the hardship of women in her country during the war even until now. A pillow cover and a ball toy from war zones in Ukraine describe the harsh reality of war for children and their family. We don’t blame anyone, we just think of the stupidity of the concept and ask why children should suffer so much.

Cold war

Exclusive hand-written messages for the Little Museum of the World from Kim Phuc, the “napalm girl” from the Vietnam war. The beautiful story of the Mime Marcel Marceau is also told with signed photos of him. Genuine pieces of the Berlin Wall are also on display together with signed photos of Gail Halvorsen aka the Candy Bomber, another wonderful story to remember.
