The exhibition extends for over 5000 m².” From the outset, it was a utopian undertaking. Not without reason does the lama monastery Shangri-La from James Hilton‘s novel \u003ci\u003eLost Horizon\u003c\/i\u003e serve as namesake to this museum. Pietro Benzi (1931 – 2014) maintained the project from 1965 onwards. He collected what they no longer wanted, what had become antiquated or gone out of fashion: 2.7 million everyday objects, many of which were household effects, religious kitsch, knick-knacks, shoes and plastic toys.
