Trans Europa Design Express – a journey through five design collections
This exhibition offers a thrilling tour of five major European design collections. The choices vary widely, reflecting the history of these high-profile institutions.
All the time in the world
How do we measure time? And above all, how do we shape it? What do ‘being productive’ and ‘getting the maximum out of your day’ actually mean? All the time in the world pauses time for a moment so we can take a closer look at it.
From art academy to museum
The ceramics cabinet on the museum’s second floor is showing a selection of ceramics collected by Jan van Haaren. You will find work here by Dutch ceramists such as Etie van Rees and Jan van der Vaart, but also big European names like Lucie Rie and Lucio Fontana.
Does it do anything for me?
Design Museum Den Bosch is showing a selection this summer from the extensive body of jewellery created by Hans Appenzeller (74), who has been active as a designer for over 54 years.
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.
Women as technology
Why is it that virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa and Cortana often have a female-sounding name and voice? Why was it that in the 1940s the calculating power of computers was expressed in ‘girl hours’? Discover it in the exhibition Women as technology.
From Bauhaus to Mecca
From Bauhaus to Mecca focuses on the life’s work of Dr Mahmoud Bodo Rasch. His work gives the opportunity to investigate the modern world of design and architecture. You can discover how the enormous social phenomenoms as the Islamitic pilgrimage the Hajj is connected with design.
