For the past ten years, Richard McMahan has been creating his own personal museum collection featuring miniatures he feels tell the story of art history of our world. The Florida resident, who considers himself an art historian as well as an artist, has an exceptional talent for producing tiny images representing art in both public collections here and abroad. McMahan began his collection working from photographs he found in over one hundred years of National Geographic Magazine
