Museum of Tomorrow II : HAPPY LIVING

2007.03.22-05.17

What is your ideal home? The exhibition invites international designers and illustrators to create several small houses, sharing their expectations and imaginations about home. Visitors could enter each house to feel the happiness the designers want to deliver.  The purpose is to lead a deeper discussion about the definition of home and happy living while the society is full of consumption, efficiency and desire.
