Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a full-blown toy museum in your house? Matthew Roman, the founder of NOWHOME, has created a truly unique space—a toy museum nestled inside a New York City apartment, dedicated to preserving and celebrating the treasures of Japanese pop culture from years past. Founded in 2018, NOWHOME isn’t just a collection; it’s an immersive experience that dives into the emotional and psychological connection we have with the things we collect. Whether it’s vintage toys or the way design intersects with memory, Matt’s work is reshaping how we think about collecting on a personal and cultural level. We’re excited to have him here today to talk about his passion, his vision, and how he’s bringing the past into the present, one collectible at a time.
