My Home: Adam Nankervis, artist
The home of the artist Adam Nankervis is also a gallery – and every space is crammed with artworks and objects trouvés.

The Australian artist Adam Nankervis lives surrounded by art and ephemera collected from different people and places over the years. His flat doubles as MuseumMAN, a museum and art gallery with all its rooms open to the public – including the bathroom and toilet. He holds regular exhibitions for artists from around the world.
I always have an opening night party. There are usually about 60 people here though there have been up to 200. It’s all a bit of a squeeze but I love it and I’ve never had a problem. I love the diversity of people who come here. I don’t know how they know about it, but I have a completely open-door policy, and I’ve never had a problem. People come to appreciate the art, but they also respect it as a home.

Liverpool’s a great city. People are sharp as tacks and there is so much talent and creativity. Liverpool has given me so much and I want to put something back. Some people call MuseumMAN a vanity project. Well, I guess it is, in the sense that I get to live here! I now have to start looking for somewhere bigger as I am inviting a lot of artists to Liverpool for this year’s Biennial in autumn and they will need space to exhibit.
