Such a cool place. My faves were the life-size 'creatures' and mosaics made from teapots, cups etc. Well the mosaics in general. Every piece in the house has a story and that's what makes it interesting and thought provoking. Bought a few postcards to put up in my gallery hallway. I think you could visit many times and see / read something new. I'll be back with my husband so he can experience it too. Lovely intro into how the house started too. And Stephen and Michael are a fabulous pair. In response to the silly parents leaving one star, my neices and nephews would be fascinated, but that's what comes of not being sheltered and encouraging curiosity and creativity. There is absolutely nothing occult in the house (take it from someone interested in occult), a few broken and painted dolls are hardly the stuff of nightmares. I'd highly recommend taking a look at the many available photos before deciding whether this place is right for your child, of course it won't be for everyone, and that's ok. It's up to you to research and decide. Art is personal. Art is subjective. If it doesn't cause a reaction, it's not doing its job.

We visited the House of Dreams roughly one week ago and have to say it was a really positive experience. You get a visual overload but in a nice way and there is so much to see although the museum is not huge. Stephen and his partner Michael are really friendly and take the time to welcome you and talk to you about the house and about their lives in general. It makes it a personal and very special visit into their universe. Highly Recommended.

An enchanting, inspiring and beautiful experience, which somehow exceeded our expectations having wanted to come here for a couple of years.

We go to a lot of art-based experiences like museums, exhibitions and so on; the morning after our visit, my waking thought was that this may have been the closest thing I have witnessed to an actual work of art and what the term fundamentally means.

Created over the span of many many years, this is not just a project which the creator Stephen has made, and is then left for perusal in isolation; this is akin to actually being inside somebody’s mind in a way I don’t feel we have experienced. It basically has everything one could want from a work of art; many moments of introspection, a story of his experiences, aesthetic beauty and importantly uniqueness.

But anyway; this is all to say a huge thank you to the whole team, for a great and warm experience. Getting to chat with you was also really nice.

We won’t forget this place....

A unique place and like nothing else I have seen. Stephen and his partner Michael were very warm and accommodating. Stephens work is raw and unapologetic which is rare. I cried profusely at the emotiveness of his words shared on the walls. For anyone who has been witness to the decline and eventual death of a loved one, his work is likely to resonate. Definitely recommend and like others have mentioned , the short video helps to explain...
