In the vast wilderness of Denali National Park, nestled in the heart of Alaska, lies a hidden treasure known as cache. This word holds different meanings for various contexts and locations across the globe, but here in Denali, it takes on a unique significance. Imagine standing amidst towering trees and snow-capped mountains, where nature's beauty knows no bounds. In this pristine landscape, you may stumble upon an ancient Alaskan log cache. These traditional structures were once used by indigenous people to store food and supplies during harsh winters. A testament to their resourcefulness and resilience. As you explore further into this wild terrain, your eyes catch sight of a Hairy Woodpecker gracefully maneuvering through the winter wonderland. With its vibrant plumage and unwavering determination, it serves as a reminder that survival is possible even in the harshest conditions. It also finds its place beyond natural landscapes; it can be found within historical collections like the Connell Collection of Old Furniture. Within these walls lie stories from centuries past – tales woven into every intricately carved piece of wood or elegantly upholstered chair. Traveling back in time to early 20th century America brings us face-to-face with an intriguing advertisement for corsets and undergarments from Comptoir des Cache-Corsets.

Each image tells a story waiting to be unraveled by curious minds eager to understand our collective past. Finally, we find ourselves immersed in an English bourgeois interior through Daniel Maclise's painting "The game of slipper hunting.
