The collection was established by Alice and Louis Koch. The museum is currently showing 300 selected items from the collection, illustrating the history of finger rings over a period of 4,000 years. This is a uniquely diverse collection which serves as a valuable historical reference.<\/p>\n<p>My&nbsp;ring&nbsp;that has been acquired for the collection&nbsp;is one ring in&nbsp;a series of standing ring objects&nbsp;that was created&nbsp;and exhibited in October 2001 at Studio Ingot Gallery, Fitzroy Melbourne Victoria Australia.
