cultural 'ship'

The idea of the project is a cultural ‘ship’ or ‘bridge’ between cities, countries and maybe even continents.  The main issue is a physical and psychological connection between a place and an object: how a place is important for an object and how an object is important for a place. What is going on with a place then a piece of architecture just disappears and how does it impact people? This project should involve different places (might be all around the world, so the object might ‘move’ from one place to another). One possible way is ‘travelling’ by water, which is one of the first source of communication between different cultures. 
This project could include educational function, free art presentation, art in unexpected places and etc. (it might be a moving show, exhibition place, lecture area, workshop space). Designed object or piece of architecture should be connection between different places and people.
