African Trade Beads

Our traveling displays are excellent ways to showcase the past.

These artifacts are real and quite valuable. For this reason Displays will be leased to reputable organizations. They are leased by the month for a flat fee, per display. Displays will be installed by one of our certified technicians and must not be opened or artifacts handled. For the time being we’d like to keep the displays within a 200 mile radius, expanded territory coming soon.
