The collection of the various elements presented in this section began with the personal funds from the author. The ultimate goal is to make of it a permanent exposure accessible to the public. The gifts of new elements (or exchanges against works of the artist) would be largely appreciated and will make it possible to give the expansion necessary to this project.
