Alessandro Sonetti and Jan Arnesen are the curators and the designers of the exhibit. To celebrate the event, the Province of Pisa has created a 30-foot replica of one of the ships that will be sent to various exhibits throughout the world throughout the year. The replica will contain the original objects and artifacts that were part of the cargo. Since the U.N. has proclaimed 2001 the Year of Dialogue Among Civilization, the ship's journey will begin at the U.N. in New York City, later traveling to Japan, Australia, and South Africa. With notes from the United Nations.
