Mother & Child collection

Last weekend, while visiting some old family friends, we discovered that one of them turned part of her house into a museum! It's filled with over 1,000 pieces of art work (paintings, sculptures, textiles, dolls etc) depicting a mother and a child. She calls it her Mother & Child Collection. 

Some items were bought by herself wherever she travelled to, and some were given to her as gifts. Every space in the house was filled with art (from gigantic wooden sculptures to figurines on the shelves) - in the the kitchen, the bathroom, on the window sills, and at the corners! Some art works were funny, some were thought-provoking, some were really sweet, but everything was just beautiful. Of course I did not get to see every single item (you'll need to spend hours in that house if you want to see everything) - but I took photos of some that I really admired. This will also show you the diversity of the collection:
