In the vibrant streets of Senegal, a Griot skillfully plucks the strings of his Kora, weaving tales that transcend time and space. His melodic voice carries the ancient stories of kings and heroes, captivating listeners young and old. Meanwhile, in a cozy corner adorned with vintage prints, Little Tom Thumb takes center stage. With each turn of the page from 1938's print, this tiny protagonist embarks on extraordinary adventures that ignite imaginations and teach valuable life lessons. Traveling further back in time to the 1500s, we find ourselves immersed in a Shahnama (Book of Kings) masterpiece. Bahram Gur and Azada come to life through opaque watercolor strokes and delicate gold accents on paper. Their tale unfolds before our eyes as they navigate love's trials amidst an opulent backdrop. Venturing into more contemporary realms, "The Booty Cat" leaps off its 1938 print. This mischievous feline enchants readers with its cunning escapades while reminding us to embrace our playful side. A statue stands tall honoring Hoja Nasruddin - a semi-mythical storyteller who imparts wisdom through Sufi teaching-tales. His presence serves as a reminder that storytelling transcends cultures and generations; it is an art form capable of touching souls across borders. "The Death of Dido, " depicted on canvas between 1650-66, captures the heart-wrenching moment when love meets tragedy. Through brushstrokes laden with emotion, this painting immortalizes Dido's anguish as she bids farewell to her beloved Aeneas. "Don Juan and the commander: The banquet" portrays a scene filled with intrigue painted delicately using watercolors. It invites us into Don Juan's world where passion intertwines with danger during an unforgettable feast. Don Stefano kneels humbly before St. Galgano in a timeless painting from 1320.
