You can enter free of charge on presentation of the following cards: Museumkaart, Rembrandtkaart, VriendenLoterij VIP-KAART, Museum Vriendenkaart, ICOM and AICA. Half-price entry is available on presentation of a CJP card, student card or college card. Free entry for everyone under the age of 18.
Absolutely. You can purchase a Museumkaart at our ticket desk and use it immediately. The card you receive will be a temporary one, good for five museum visits and a period of up to 31 days. If you register it online, you will receive your full Museumkaart by post.
You can buy tickets to visit our museum online in advance or in person at the ticket desk. We don’t use fixed time-slots, which means you don’t have to book a particular time. So it’s entirely up to you. Tickets for Design Museum Den Bosch cost the same online and at the ticket desk. Combined tickets for our museum and Het Noordbrabants Museum are cheaper to buy online. Please note that for special events such as lectures and workshops, it is recommended that you purchase your ticket online in advance. For more information, see our Calendar of events.
Have you bought tickets online but would now prefer to come at another time? You can easily modify your tickets online via this link. It is also possible to cancel your ticket. To do this, fill in the form on this page.
You can print your online ticket and bring it with you or we can also scan it from your phone. Simply choose which method is easiest for you.
Absolutely. We really like it when you visit both museums. You can buy a combination ticket online or at the ticket desk of both museums.
You can visit the brasserie or the museum shop without a ticket. They are located in the freely accessible part of the museum.
You are welcome to visit in a wheelchair, both manual and electric, or with a walking bike. Design Museum Den Bosch has full access thanks to our spacious lift. There are no thresholds in the building and you can enter the museum via a ramp. Cobblestones in the surrounding streets might make it a little harder to reach us. You are also welcome to visit in a mobility scooter. Bear in mind, though, that it can be tricky to manoeuvre a large mobility scooter at certain exhibitions.
There is an accessible toilet in all the toilet blocks, which are located on the ground floor and the first floor. Lockers are available at different heights.
You can borrow a wheelchair at the museum suitable for people weighing up to 125 kg. Book it by e-mailing info@designmuseum.nl, phoning 073-6270 3680 or asking at reception. You can request a stool in the same way. The lightweight model is easy to carry.
The Wolvenhoek car park is located 100 metres from the museum. You can also be dropped off at the entrance at 4 De Mortel. But you are only allowed to drop someone off and leave immediately: you cannot park directly outside the entrance for longer than it takes to do this.
Guide dogs and assistance dogs are welcome.
Disabled visitors can bring a companion with them free of charge. Present yourselves at the ticket desk. If you are buying your tickets via the online ticket shop, select the ‘Other discount card’ option for your companion’s ticket.
It can be hard to predict how crowded the museum will be. It depends on lots of factors, including the weather and the day of the week. Generally speaking, we are busiest during weekends and holiday periods. It is much quieter on weekdays, especially after 3pm.
Each toilet block has an adapted toilet for disabled people.
There are lockers on the ground floor of the museum in which you can safely store your belongings free of charge. There is also a rack you can hang your coat and other items on. Please note, though, that it is not supervised.
You can keep your coat and bag with you on the ground floor, accessible free of charge, in the MuseumBrasserie and in the MuseumShop. Before you visit the exhibition rooms, we ask you to store items (including bags) larger than A4 size in the free lockers in the cloakroom. Some larger lockers are available for items too big for the regular ones. Please ask at the front desk.
Prams and buggies are allowed, provided that the child remains in them for the whole of the visit. If your child prefers to walk or to be carried, you should take the pram or buggy to the cloakroom. Baby slings are allowed, provided they are worn on your front. There is free entry for everyone under the age of 18.
Unless indicated otherwise, you’re allowed to take photographs in the museum. Lights, flash or tripods cannot be used, however, without prior permission. To request permission, contact communicatie@designmuseum.nl. Do you share your photos on social media? If so, we’d love it if you would tag us via @designmuseumdenbosch.
Unfortunately, you’re not allowed to bring your pet into the museum. It goes without saying that guide dogs and assistance dogs are welcome.
Food and drinks are only permitted in the MuseumBrasserie and its terrace. You may not consume food or drinks you have brought with you in the museum or the MuseumBrasserie.
There are two toilet blocks in the museum: one on the ground floor and one at the end of the exhibition room on the first floor. Both blocks are gender-neutral and have an adapted disabled toilet.
Officially, you cannot leave the museum during your visit: we can only scan your ticket once. Please talk to our ticket desk staff if you really do need to leave the museum and return later in the day.
The best thing is to email us at info@designmuseum.nl. The museum staff will do their utmost to help you.
