Imago Mundi Collection consists of 10 x 12 cm artworks from all over the world commissioned by Luciano Benetton. With the objective of collecting global artistic experiences and transmitting them to the future generations as a world heritage, the collection is based on a non-commercial structure and features both established and emerging artists.
Having grown into a collection featuring more than 17,000 artworks from 100 countries while originally aiming at 10,000 from 80, Imago Mundi organizes touring exhibitions and publishes catalogs to render the collection accessible to the maximum number of viewers worldwide.
