It may well have been an ivory sculpture of a crocodile, gifted to him as a child by a family friend, that was the starting point of Jan Engels and his wife Kristina's African art collection.

Anima Mundi is the catalogue of that vast private collection, which the art collectors have been displaying in their own art depot JAS (Jan aan de Stroom) for several years now. JAS is a place where creativity, art and traditions meet.

In Anima Mundi, you will discover beautiful photography and the accompanying text by collection manager Kristina Engels and African art specialist François Neyt.
