George Ortiz has assembled the finest private collection of antiquities in the world. Morris Associates has worked in close partnership with this unique collector on all facets of the project for the four exhibitions to date in St Petersburg, Moscow, London and Berlin. This extraordinary collection truly reflects one man's intuitive and instinctive pursuit to explore man's spiritual birth.

The George Ortiz Collection will be shown in other international destinations during the next five years - museum venues and schedules are soon to be confirmed. We anticipate that this information will be available soon.

This exhibition attracted up to 5000 visitors each day, and was later installed in Moscow at the State Pushkin Museum.

Ortiz wrote of his collection:

The collection you will see is a message of hope, a proof that the past is in all of us and we will be in all that comes after us. Let these works of art speak to you, hopefully some of them will move you by their beauty and reconcile you to your fellow men however different their religions, customs, races or colour. For these works of art are the product of humanity.
