At home in Renaissance Bruges : connecting objects, people and domestic space…
How did citizens in Bruges create a home? What did an ordinary domestic interior look like in the sixteenth century? And more importantly: how does one study the domestic culture of bygone times by analysing documents such as probate inventories? These questions seem straightforward, yet few endeavours are more challenging than reconstructing a sixteenth-century domestic reality from written so…

Somewhat akin to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, it sees materiality and connectivity as tw…
