Collector Alfred Blasi is presenting a unique historical exhibition titled Through Time at Espai Boule in Reus, featuring items gathered over thirty years of international travel and cultural exchange.

Located on Boule Street, this training center hosts four large display cases acting as a public museum. The collection includes paleontological remains and ancient artifacts. Highlights include an 80-million-year-old Mosasaurus head and hadrosaur eggs from Mongolia.

"Trilobites were the first living beings to have eyes about 400 million years ago."

The classical world section features coins from the reigns of Cleopatra, Herod, and Nero, alongside a Roman phiala and mummified falcons from Ptolemaic Egypt. A significant piece is a wooden Osiris statue, recovered from the Nile River and restored in Reus over nine months.
The exhibition also covers pre-Columbian America with funerary jewelry from Colombia and a Chimú staff from Peru. The tour concludes with the Far East, featuring Xi'an warrior heads and 860-year-old jade boots.
