House of Dreams Museum, Artist residence museum in East Dulwich, England
The House of Dreams Museum is a transformed Victorian residence in Southwark displaying thousands of found objects, dolls, and mosaics across its ground floor. The space features carefully arranged collections that reflect diverse personal and social themes.
In 1998, a textile designer began transforming his home into an art environment after watching a BBC documentary about outsider art movements. The private collection has since evolved into a significant artistic space that draws visitors.
Memory boards throughout the rooms record personal experiences, social observations, and political events like a visual diary reflecting British everyday life.
Advance reservations through the official website are required to visit, as the museum opens only a few days each month. Guided tours are the best way to fully understand the collections and their meaning.
The house contains a remarkable collection of international objects and broken dolls that will be preserved by a major cultural institution. These conservation plans ensure the collection's future existence is already secured.
