The Nomadic Museum, the permanent travelling home of Ashes and Snow debuted in New York in March 2005 and then travelled to Los Angeles in January 2006 and Odaiba, Tokyo in 2007. It is in Zócalo, Mexico City, in early 2008.
Ashes and Snow is a work in progress. Over the past fifteen years Colbert has collaborated with more than forty species around the world.
