The program…

Upon arrival, you will be welcomed with a delicious cup of coffee, tea, or, if desired, a soft drink, accompanied by a traditional Brabant treat. Then your journey begins, starting in Mexico. We'll hike through the Andes in Peru. From there, we'll travel to the Navajo/Hopi region of the United States. There, we'll see the largest collection of turquoise. We'll enter the desert in the Land Rover and show you the cactus rain sticks from the Atacana Desert of Chile and the Rose of Jericho. The journey continues from India to Brazil. There, we'll learn about rock crystal, "magical skulls," musical instruments like the djembe, and a real T-Rex dinosaur is ready to devour us.

If we manage to escape, we'll flee via China to see the Zimbabwean "Shona art" stone sculptures and the "Kishi art" stone sculptures from Kenya. Meanwhile, we'll visit Vietnam, Thailand, and the largest "house of worship" ever exported from Burma. Then we'll take a break: the furniture from Tibet, from where we can view the entire unique stone region of Madagascar and the largest amethyst geode in Europe. Before enjoying another coffee, tea, or soft drink, we'll be amazed by the magnificent, life-size trunks of petrified wood from Indonesia.

After coffee, you can take a tour and explore one hundred and twelve cabinets and forty-three display cases filled with gemstones, carvings, and necklaces. From here, you can delve deeper into health stones, hot and cold stone therapy, chakra stones, and many other areas that influence our well-being. You can also attend the lecture "The Power of Pearls and Corals." In the display cases, various freshwater pearls, cultured pearls, Keshi pearls, Tahitian pearls, Pacific pearls, and Biwa pearls are discussed in detail. Exceptionally educational and engaging! A world to take with you, as you can make purchases in the shop.
