MUH represents an invisible conceptual space, evocative of a home, both universal and personal. It exists not for its own sake, but is merely a background providing space for people, their lives, their art and their artifacts. This home is universal because it has no hierarchy, sees no boundaries between disciplines, is cross-cultural and can exist anywhere at anytime. The home is also personal because it can exist anyhow, even only as a concept in our mind. People will add meaning, understand and value what they perceive according to their believes and cultural background.
