Stones, eras...

Talking about heritage is such a vast undertaking! The notion encompasses all those elements inherited from the past and reminding us of the customs of the time and memorable dates – in short, everything that makes up our collective memory.

There are also a few contemporary works that we like to place in this category, and which are well worth a look…
