Design!
Our permanent Design! presentation can be found on the ground floor of Design Museum Den Bosch. Its 14 themes draw you into the world of design.
In Shape
The body is where design, fashion, and social norms intersect, and underwear has always played a major role in that. This exhibition was created in collaboration with the Dirk-Jan List collection, and reveals how, through the centuries, we have shaped our bodies not only with textiles and technology, but also through power, identity, and desire.
Designing the Nation State
The exhibition Designing the Nation State explores the relationship between design and the nation state for the first time. What is a state, who has the right to establish one, and what designs are needed to do so? How does something become a national symbol, and who gets to decide?
