In room 8, visitors of all ages will find the Little House of Books: a moving exhibition of illustrated and picture books of all genres from around the world to browse at their own leisure.

For those wishing to participate, there will be a “game of perspectives” which invites visitors to make connections between the large-scale painting by the Bellini brothers and the the images found in the books, in order to create a temporary installation inspired by the fantastical duality of “home vs. elsewhere”

Curated by:
Libreria Spazio B**K di Milano

The workshop is led by Diletta Colombo, Paolo Colombo, Elisa Zappa.

The Book House
An enchanted space, a space that doesn’t enclose, but enhances the experience of reading.

The idea was born in a simple story written for a three year-old, and became reality in the hands of her mother.

Instructions for assembling the House of Books

Not long ago, a three-year-old girl called Nicole read “The Hidden Staircase”and used it to explore the Pinacoteca with her mother, who wrote to the Director , James M. Bradburne. Inspired by the letter, he wrote a new story, “Nicole & the Book House”. Inspired by his story, Nicole’s mother published a limited edition and built a real wooden house for Nicole and her beloved books.
With the publication of Nicole and the Bookhouse in November 2021, the President of CIRCI, James Bradburne, launched an appeal to designers, architects and manufacturers to create a low-cost ‘bookhouse’ that could be used as a gift to young readers.

The Book House can belong to any child who wants a special place to spend time in the company of books.

The Book House project is non-profit, any revenue from its sale will be re-invested in one of CIRCI’s initiatives.
