Lost for where to holiday this coming Autumn?
Fancy the romance and culture of a city steeped in European history, architecture and natural beauty? Add to this companionship of warm like-minded individuals passionate and willing to talk and study netsuke. Still not sold? Well let’s throw in a museum handling session, a collectors exhibition and catalogue, a cultural lecture on the collections history of the city… and for good measure – a FREE collectors BBQ with traditional Bogratch and beverages. Can this dream really become reality?
