The Mouse Mansion

The Mouse Mansion books capture the amazing world of Sam and Julia, two tiny mice living in a huge h It took Schaapman more than three years to build.

Karina Schaapman (1960) started building The Mouse Mansion in 2008. Some might consider it to be a dollhouse, but it was built specifically to function as the set for a children’s book series. The Mouse Mansion is three meters high and consists of more than a hundred rooms. It’s been on display at the public library in Amsterdam since 2011. In 2011 the first book of the series was published by Uit

geverij Rubinstein: The Mouse Mansion – Sam & Julia (published in English by Penguin). Two more books followed: Sam & Julia in the Theatre (2012) and Sam & Julia and the Circus (2013). The fourth book is currently in the making. The series became an instant success in the Netherlands and abroad. The books received several prices (De Zilveren Penseel, Het Best Verzorgde Boek) and are now available in more than twenty countries. The house is built out of cardboard boxes and for the interior mostly scraps have been used. The Mouse Mansion houses a factory, workshops, staircases, warehouses, shops, and so on. Karina Schaapman also invited artists to create small artifacts specifically for the Mouse Mansion. These little artworks can be found in several rooms of the house. The Mouse Mansion is a place where many things happen. Each room has it’s own story. If you look carefully, you might be able to discover what the objects are made of. Lampshades are made of old milk-caps, enamel canisters and buckets are made of paper, small light bulbs transform into bottles and popsicle sticks make wooden floors. Since 2015, Karina and her four children started a family business called "Studio Schaapman". They now work together in their workshop in the centre of Amsterdam. Here they create new sets, books, and a YouTube channel for children (coming soon!). To learn more about The Mouse Mansion, visit the website!
