A view of the Wonder Wall of the World Wide Wonders exhibition in the Treffry Gallery. The exhibition opened on 5th February 2018 and ran until January 2019 as part of the Royal Institution of Cornwalls bicentenary celebrations in 2018. Since its inception in 1818, one of the aims of the Institution was to collect objects from around the world. This has resulted in a fascinating and diverse collection that has opened windows onto the world, both for us and for those who have come before us. The exhibition included the bones of a giant Moa (an extinct bird from New Zealand), minerals from Cousin Jacks, fertility masks from Africa and wedding garments from Albania.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a world of wonder at the World Wide Wonders exhibition, held at the Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro. This print captures the essence of the exhibition's Wonder Wall, showcasing an array of fascinating objects from around the globe. Opened on 5th February 2018 as part of the Royal Institution of Cornwall's bicentenary celebrations, this exhibition aimed to fulfill one of its founding goals - collecting extraordinary artifacts from different corners of the world. The result is a diverse and mesmerizing collection that offers glimpses into cultures and histories both past and present. From the bones of a giant Moa bird hailing from New Zealand to minerals sourced by Cousin Jacks, fertility masks originating from Africa, and wedding garments representing Albanian traditions - each object tells its own unique story. Photographer Nicki Foley skillfully captured this moment in time, allowing viewers to appreciate not only these remarkable treasures but also their significance within our global heritage. The World Wide Wonders exhibition served as a window onto distant lands for visitors young and old alike. Its presence throughout 2018 was just one example among many activities organized by the Royal Cornwall Museum to commemorate their bicentennial anniversary. This print serves as a reminder that through exploration and appreciation for cultural diversity, we can truly connect with our shared humanity.
