Coming Soon: The Love, Peace & Beads Museum

 

 

Because we think that love, peace and beads go well together, the new museum will be home to all three.

Soon you can visit your dedicated beads and your sponsored panels, choose more beads for loved ones and shop for meaningful gifts. Then marvel about beaded artifacts from around the world and everything related to the topics of love and peace.

 

Why use beads? >>

 

The museum will host Gala Receptions, Birthday Parties, Classes, Workshops and Seminars. Artists can exhibit their relevant work and Authors will be invited to discuss their books about peaceful living.

The new museum will be a hub for education, cultural diversity and a gentler lifestyle.

As we are preparing for this wonderful place to open in Palm Beach County, Florida, we'll keep you up-to-date on the progress via our Facebook Page. Like it today and get the latest scoop: http://www.facebook.com/Addbeads

Until it has a permanent home of its own, you can see the Neverending Necklace and choose your beads at "Beads on the Ave" in Delray Beach, Florida.

Beads on the Ave is located in downtown Delray Beach, Florida, at 151 NE 2nd Avenue.

Share with us your stories about extraordinarily helpful neighbors, episodes of making peace with a long standing adversary or your special love that spans across borders.

Snake with wolf pattern as fertility symbol made by the Huichol, Mexico

The Huichol are a Mexican ethnic group with traditional "string art", where colored strings are pressed into a layer of bee's wax to create a design. This art form evolved into what many Mexico vacationers know as the beaded Huichol masks and animals, using colorful glass beads instead of threads.
