DESCRIPTION
Since 1980, the Ritchie family has been collecting, travelling and
sharing folk art from around the world. The Peaceable Kingdom is
a place where stories come alive—where art created within
cultural traditions transports the viewer to exotic lands. Talk
with a Peruvian curandero (folk healer) by looking into a retablo
depicting a healing ceremony. Visit a Central Asian woman by admiring
the sosani (embroidery) she created to decorate her nomadic tent.
Hear the Sepik River ancestral myth carved into a story board from
Papua New Guinea. You will also find…
¨ Rugs, pillows and tribal weavings
¨ Jewelry new and old
¨ Ethnic clothing and accessories
¨ African masks and statuary
¨ Haitian paintings
¨ Latin American folk art
¨ Musical instruments
¨ Puppets and folk toys
¨ Nativity Scenes from around the world
¨ Dia de los Muertos collectibles
