About MU Hybrid Art House

MU Hybrid Art House is an investigative presentation platform that operates in a wide international network of creatives who define the liminal space between what art is and what art can be. MU initiates, produces and presents preferably new works, and surrounds them with an extensive and interdisciplinary secondary program targeting at a broad and predominantly young audience. MU prioritises the introduction to, understanding of, elaboration on, and hands-on experience of the creation of art.
