Home Sweet Home

The exhibition Home Sweet Home explores the notion of home with a playful and imaginative twist. Birdhouses designed by internationally renowned creative designers - such as Sabine Marcelis, Muller Van Severen, Max Lamb, Philippe Malouin and Shishi San - reveal how living, care, and beauty can come together for both humans and nature. The result is an intimate and surprising journey of discovery that invites visitors to see the world from a different perspective.

In uncertain times, when the world seems to be faltering on many levels, the idea of home takes on a deeper and more poignant meaning. A home is more than a physical place; it is a refuge, a space of safety, identity, and care. But what does “home” mean today? And for whom does it truly exist? Home Sweet Home starts from these fundamental questions and focuses on a small yet meaningful object: the birdhouse. What initially appears to be a modest functional item is transformed into a powerful symbol of coexistence, care, and empathy.
