Ronald McDonald House, Rotterdam
The Ronald McDonald House is a guesthouse affiliated with the Sophia Children's Hospital in Rotterdam. Parents of hospitalized children can stay here with their entire family for an extended period of time, if necessary. The house is located on the second and third floors of a building near the hospital. The Talisman Cabinet is made for the entrance to the third floor.
In a wooden cabinet with 48 compartments, small paper and wax talismans are placed on light blue cotton cushions. These objects have been made as a wish for good luck for all children.
