|
If you think about your home – what is it like? Does it have walls and a roof? A front door and a kitchen?
But not all homes are the same.
This unique mix of facts and true-life stories has been carefully selected to inspire the imagination. Explore homes from around the world and through time: such as those in Turkey 9,000 years ago with no doors, or the portable wallpaper that Louis XI had moved from chateau to chateau to decorate his walls.
It's a celebration of different cultures and of what is central to each and every home: the family who lives there!
