In late September 2011, the Belgian headquartered creative bureau Mooz opened its online gallery/shop 'Moozeum' with focus on art, fashion, design with works by artists like Sofie Boons, who presents perfume enclosed in jewellery as remembrance of transiency, and Jan Marechal, who places familiar symbols in a new style into homes. Sofie Boons and Jan Marechal are only two names of a longer list of exhibiting artists at the Moozeum online gallery.
