“The Bayeux Tapestry. I was nine when I visited the gallery in France housing it. I was in awe at its sheer size and detail and how the women came together and crafted a moment in history that can be shared forever.” – Zoe, England
“Michelangelo’s sculptures seen in a book from the library when I was nine. It made me determined to travel from New Zealand to Florence to see them and fuelled my ultimate love of travel.” – Glenys, Nelson, New Zealand
“The painting The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai has been my favourite piece of art for years. For me, it represents the journey through life. Sometimes you are the mountain: strong and steadfast; sometimes you are the wave: powerful with the potential to help or hinder others. When things feel overwhelming maybe you are one of the men in the boat. The picture is something to lose yourself in and helps me understand where I am in life.” – Sarah, England
