Four Worlds - Welcome

Collector of Replicas of Ancient Cultures and Paper Nativity Scenes

Art, collecting and travel accompany the discovery of the richness, history and stories hidden in objects. The exhibitions form four separate worlds – Egypt, Greece, Christmas and Nativity scenes – each presenting a unique display with its own theme and concept.

My name is Ján Hertlík and I have long been dedicated to creating and presenting collections inspired by history and traditions. My exhibitions bring visitors closer to the legacy of ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, the magic of Christmas traditions, and the world of paper nativity scenes. Each collection is created with an emphasis on detail, story, and atmosphere, so that every history enthusiast can find something in it.

Discover four worlds of stories where the past meets imagination and vivid experiences for the public.

My passion for travel and history has led me to share the stories of ancient civilizations and Christmas customs with a wider audience. The collections are suitable for exhibitions in museums, cultural centers, schools and public events. On this website, you will find an overview of the individual thematic collections, collaboration opportunities and examples of past exhibitions.

Step into a world of pharaohs and philosophers, the scent of Christmas and the delicate poetry of paper nativity scenes – four worlds of stories await their visitors.
