Have you ever wondered how to collect antiques as investments?

Here's your opportunity to chat with one of Australia's foremost collectors of antiquities, internationally respected John Hawkins who lives in Tasmania.

Wealthy investors have many reasons for building collections of art, antiques and so much more. Profit is rarely one of them according to UBS Investor Watch.

They spend significant time and money building their collections, driven by a deep passion for their subject.

Mr Hawkins has assembled and supplie ditems to some of the world's foremost collections including the Queen Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the National Gallery of Australia.

As part of Mystery Walls, on MAY 26, Mr Hawkins will present a floor talk - `Collecting in Modern Times'. at Queen Victoria Museum and Arg Gallery, Inveresk.

Mr Hawkins is donating 100 percent of the admission cost of $165 to StGiles Children's Disability Services.
