"It's my honor to open up the home my wife and I lived in together and share the collection she spent a lifetime building. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as we have, for it was Lisa's life's work."
Bert Lybrand, artist, curator, & owner
"Visiting the Giraffe House was an awe-inspiring experience; there's just no other word for it. Definitely a highlight of our trip—or, maybe, of my life as a giraffe lover!"
