The Relic Hunter with Ian Grant (2009)

Ian Grant is much more than just a furniture buyer. He specializes in finding desirable, often overlooked pieces and artifacts from all corners of the globe to sell at his Minnesota-based company. This miniseries details how the adventurer and collector immerses himself in a local culture in such countries as Peru, Morocco, India, Nepal and Thailand to acquaint himself with master craftsmen who use ancient methods to create their traditional items, and at times Grant gets a first-hand lesson in how an object is made or used. He also shares his personal insight into the cultures he visits and the secrets about the objects he finds.
