A safe space for children where they can develop friendships and explore other habits of their neighbours. The stories told are most of the time educational and fun in an exciting world where much is to be discovered, but it is also a safe world, one you wish for all the children and one you can yearn for as an adult. The atmosphere is cosy and everybody is tolerant: it feels like a safe haven. An important fact about the mouse mansion is that it is sustainable. The interior is made from authentic fabrics from the ‘50/’60/’70ties and all kinds of recycled materials.
