The wooden house located on the Bug River is a spatial manifesto of Open Form - an idea that Oskar Hansen made the axis of his architectural, artistic and didactic work. Since 2014, the house has been under the care of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, and at the end of 2017 it became a branch of the Museum.

At the beginning of May 2014, thanks to the efforts of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, the wooden house of Zofia and Oskar Hansen in Szumin was opened to the public. Located in Mazovia, in the picturesque old riverbed of the Bug River, it is a spatial manifesto of the idea of Open Form, which Oskar Hansen, a Polish member of Team 10, made the axis of his architectural work.

The house, built since 1968, fully expressed these ideas, being one of the few works of the Hansens realized in accordance with their wishes, without the restrictions imposed by the socialist construction industry. The time-space architecture, smoothly connecting the interior and the exterior, contained within itself the element of change, easily adapting to the changing needs of its users. Built as a frame for life, it comes alive with the presence of people. The special atmosphere of the house is co-created by traces of the activities and passions of its inhabitants - didactic instruments placed around the house for learning the basics of composition; a steel structure from the 1977 Venice Biennale with vines climbing up it, and a wooden dovecote which Zofia Hansen considered to be her husband's most perfect work.
