‎Summary This book, at the intersection of material culture, thing theory, fiction and museology, explores the different ways in which literature is exhibited and appropriated within the domestic, intimate sphere of the home. Certain daily practices involve the exhibition of literature in ways that are similar to those encountered in a museum. Interior decoration and design, bibliomania, homeware, fashion items, not to mention board games or doll's houses, may all be considered means of fetishising literature within the home. While the book combines academic chapters, from a wide range of literary genres, across centuries and various countries, and interviews of museum directors who currently live in a museum house, it draws attention to the duality that characterises such domestic literary landscape, which simultaneously exhibit the literary and produce literature. The book delves into the past or present ways in which writers and literature lovers inhabit their home, especially when these homes become museum spaces during their lifetime, and when the objects accumulated by these literati-curators are intimately linked to their writing.

‎New look at life in the 17th century / The tangible world behind the paintings, with real objects from everyday life / Published to coincide with the At Home in the 17th Century exhibition at the Rijksmuseum (17 October 2025 ? 11 January 2026) What belongings did people have at home in the 17th century? At Home in the 17th Century opens the door to everyday domestic life and brings the reader closer to the people of the time. From everyday objects such as combs and brooms used for personal care and household chores, to wedding rings and christening gifts that marked important life events. Instead of familiar idealized genre paintings, this book focuses on real life. Several Rijksmuseum curators delved into the world behind the paintings: the residents and the objects that surrounded them. What people left behind ? furniture and utensils and even cesspool finds ? gives a picture of how they furnished and used their homes. The result is an intimate look behind the front door of the 17th century ? into a world that is sometimes surprisingly recognizable, but often radically different as well.‎
