The Story
Four decades of solitary work, one woman, one house, countless hand-cut fragments.
Khalifa & Lidia Qattan Art Museum · Kuwait
The Mirror House
The only one in the world. A house turned entirely into art by Lidia Qattan.
A private residence, hand-covered in mirror mosaic
From 1972 to 2006, Italian-born artist Lidia Qattan transformed her family home in Kuwait into a single, continuous work of art. Every wall, floor, ceiling, and door was hand-cut and laid in mirror. It is the only house of its kind in the world.
