Every day to keep the whole world in the palm for Kim Sorensen – has long been a usual thing. To repair, restore and, most importantly, she began to collect globes twenty years ago. Hobby so carried away that soon turned into a profession, and for home collection had to look for exhibition space. And appeared in America first and only private museum, which without exaggeration can be called “global.”

One of the copies could come only in rainy London. Globe-folding umbrella for British schools of the late XIX century. Fully disclose its not worth it, and then land just burst.
Search for rare specimens for the collection thanks to the Internet becomes easier to recognize in the museum, but even virtual possibilities of the web will never replace the charm of the globe and will not allow the world to embrace their own hands.
