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
