About us

We are Peter and Eva.

For years we both roamed through the Eindhoven music and café scene until we were connected by fate in 2010. We soon discovered that we had the same passion for art, culture and music. 

A ‘common’ denominator was also that we were/are both horders in the broadest sense of the word, in the sense that in a very short time after we lived together we had the entire house full of statues, paintings, small framed items, lamps, books, plants, souvenirs, posters, glasses and vases. Dragons, superheroes, skulls, Buddhas, Jesus and Mary statues, flowers, boats in bottles, boxes with marbles, crafts and baked goods from the children that we could not throw away, things that we ‘were going to do something with one day’ and so on… in short, we soon lived in a ‘mini museum’. People and children stared in amazement, often with a look like: ‘How on earth can you live here?’

That passion became a fantasy about a real mini-museum. A kind of gallery.

Not a ‘gallery’ gallery.

But a place where crazy things happen and where people walk out with a strange feeling of confusion, but inspired by it. A place where various exhibitions are organised, of ourselves but also of others. Where one time a stand-up comedian tells his or her story, and the next time the gods are invoked for a ritual after a pilates lesson. Where lectures can be given, or special meetings take place. So it cannot be described in one sentence.

In the house where we lived in the Hortensiastraat in Eindhoven something like this would never be possible, so we slowly but surely started looking for a suitable place to make this happen. Oh yes, and we also had to be able to live there, together with our five children, of whom only one still lives at home.

After a search of several years, Peter’s father came up with the bold plan to do this in their house. They had been living in villa Diepenvoorde in Aalst Waalre for quite some time and missed the ‘commotion’. They were also getting older and could not imagine having to leave here one day.

And so it happened.

The kitchen, utility room and garage were converted into a luxury senior apartment where they could stay together with the dog Iky, and we ended up in the rest of the beautiful house. 

In May 2024, the first exhibition was finally a fact! A dream come true, and we hope that we can continue to let people enjoy, amaze and (over)stimulate, in all shapes and sizes, for a long time to come.
