<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 456549, member: 2844&quot;]Here is some museum info that may interest you, pertaining to the centuries old existence of travel icons:</p><p><br /></p><p>On this page of the Museum of Russian Icons in Moscow is a 15-16th century cast metal travel icon:</p><p><a href="http://new.russikona.ru/collection/section-9/155" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://new.russikona.ru/collection/section-9/155" rel="nofollow">http://new.russikona.ru/collection/section-9/155</a></p><p>They have more in their collection, of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the first page of the site of the Ikonen Museum in Recklinghausen, Germany:</p><p><img src="http://www.ikonen-museum.com/fileadmin/_processed_/csm_Muttergottes_Hodegetria-Smolenskaja__Russland__19._Jahrhundert__Nachlass_Gustav_und_Rose-Marie_Woerner__Wuppertal__2017__Inv.-Nr._4020_1d3e7d156c.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="http://www.ikonen-museum.com/index.php?id=182" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ikonen-museum.com/index.php?id=182" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikonen-museum.com/index.php?id=182</a></p><p>This is the museum we used to go to when I was a child in the 60s. I think it is the oldest icon museum in Central and Western Europe and it has an impressive collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>The brochure of their current exhibition of travel icons &#039;Holy Metal&#039;:</p><p><a href="http://www.ikonen-museum.com/fileadmin/ikonenmuseum/2018/Flyer_Holy_Metal_online.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ikonen-museum.com/fileadmin/ikonenmuseum/2018/Flyer_Holy_Metal_online.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikonen-museum.com/fileadmin/ikonenmuseum/2018/Flyer_Holy_Metal_online.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The Dutch &#039;Ikonenmuseum&#039; in Kampen, founded later than Recklinghausen, claims the biggest collection of metal travel icons in the EU, ca 2000.
