About The Owl House

The Owl House is a museum in Nieu-Bethesda created by artist Helen Martins. Following her parents' death, she transformed her home and its surroundings into an imaginative landscape adorned with over 300 concrete sculptures, including owls, camels, and vibrant mosaics made from crushed glass. Despite a reclusive life, Martins' artistic vision flourished until her tragic passing in 1976. Today, the site stands as a provincial heritage site, celebrating her extraordinary legacy.
