"The Real Fugezi©!" The Fughezi Museum© of Northern California (prounounced "foo-gay-zie") strives to expose Californians to the greatest paintings from Flanders and Holland. To do this, the museum exhibits true-to-life reproductions of classic works by Dutch and Flemish painters. The reproductions are displayed under conditions as close to the parent museum's setting as possible. As the Fughezi Museum© grows, it hopes to eventually add one secret original work to the collection.

Until then, the museum will be funded by visitor fees, contributions from Calidocious® Inc., and sales from the Fughezi® line of jewelry.
