The museum Dhondt-Dhaenens (MDD) is since 2018 flanked by The Wunderkammer Residence, a project by architect firm studio MOTO realized in collaboration with artist Hans Op de Beeck. A villa built at the beginning of the 1930,s, transformes into a unique 'gesamtkunstwerk..’

The building is conceived as a contemporary 'wunderkammer' and houses the personal library collection of Jan Hoet (1936 - 2014) while also doubling as a residence for artists, curators, researchers and writers with an (inter) national, non-European focus. Set between the museum building from 1968, the historic Lys River and the former residence of Jules and Irma Dhondt-Dhaenens, the founders of the museum, The Wunderkammer aims to create a space for dialogue, reflection and research within the typical rural context of the museum.
