One World, One Family
June 7 – September 21, 2024
One World, One Family is an intergenerational exploration and celebration of indigenous peoples all over the globe. From India, Nepal, northern Thailand, Morocco, Ecuador, China, New Guinea, Mexico, South Africa, China, Tibet, to the United States. Native American peoples represented include the Hopi, Wabanaki, and Ute. Native peoples of Mexico represented are Tarahumara, Huichol, Lacondon Maya, and Chamulan Maya. Other indigenous groups that are highlighted are the San people of the Kalahari Desert and the Uyghur people of the Chinese-Tibetan border region.
Meet the amazingly creative family behind this exhibit. Jack Lincoln Baxter traveled all over the globe, photographing people and places. He passed along his passion for photography to his daughter Connie. Connie and David passed it along to their daughter Alison, and later Connie bonded with Andrew over photography. Photography binds their family together.
While each photographer has a slightly different style, Jack, Connie, Alison, and Andrew all capture images of people in their everyday lives. They find beauty in the mundane.
Explore the world through the eyes of Jack, Connie, Alison, David, and Andrew!

International Folk Art in Miniatures
Permanent Exhibit
The recently updated Mundoville Gallery of International Folk Art in Miniature features the world in miniature. The collection was donated by the late Jeanne Nash, a founding member of the Museum. Nash donated her entire collection which comprises over 21 miniature houses, multiple small-scale scene replications, and hundreds of international folk dolls representing eras, people, and cultures from around the globe. In addition, there are numerous related life-size items. Many items in the collection are handmade from natural materials.
Virtual Exhibit
Genghis Khan and the Empire He Created
Genghis Khan and the Empire He Created is a joint effort between the Global Village Museum and the Department of History at Colorado State University. The exhibit, which stems from a course – The Mongol Empire – taught in the fall of 2020 by Professor Eli Alberts, challenges the standard view of the Mongols as a purely destructive force on the world stage.
Losel Doll Collection
The Losel Doll House
Losel Dolls were made in the 1980s and 90s by Buddhist monks living in exile in India. This collection, one of the largest in the country, was donated by Jeanne Nash, who bought the Dolls and had them shipped from India over a span of 20 years. Jeanne’s passion for preserving culture and educating about global customs and traditions is exemplified in this incredible collection of Tibetan ethnic and monastic dolls. Thank you, Jeanne, for your passion, artistic spirit, and unique collection.
