It's a very special niche Museum - the House of Dreams Museum, also known as the House of Dreams Museum, which is only open to the public a few days a year!! The museum was founded in 1998 by artist Stephen Wright, who used his own life stories and travel experiences to transform the entire house into a huge work of art over 20 years. Behind it lies the artist Stephen Wright's homage to outsider art.
Steven Wright has covered every surface of his home (including the garden) with found objects, from dentures to bottle caps, and his handwritten memory boards.
Visitors can visit on the Open Day and be prepared to have your imagination stimulated and blown away.
The museum is located in an ordinary house in East Durwich, a quiet suburban street, an unremarkable looking house. Wright moved into the house in 1982 and began transforming it into an art environment in 1998. It was inspired by Journeys into the Outside hosted by Jarvis Cocker, who was inspired by heretical French artists and began to create in his own home.
Wright decorated every corner of the house with all kinds of found and abandoned objects. Walking in here is like entering a colorful dream, the walls are covered with mosaics, collages and handwritten memory boards, recording his life, travels and perceptions of life. Every exhibit has a story behind it, waiting for you to discover and explore.
We all want to leave our mark on the places we live, and artist Stephen Wright has taken this to the next level. The museum is filled with strange and bizarre objects that make people feel like they are in a super-real world. cult kitchenware lovers should just close their eyes - you won't be disappointed by the collection.
Of course, this chaotic aesthetic is also somewhat autobiographical. Many of the collections represent moments in Stephen's life, but they also serve as memory boards for his journey through the loss of his partner and parents.
This is still Stephen's usual residence, but he will choose a few days each year to open to the public, and Stephen will accompany each team to visit the story behind each item.
The museum has been donated by Wright to the National Trust, ensuring that it will remain open to the public for years to come and become a cultural landmark in London.
