Soon on display
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?
This is so tomorrow
In this jewellery presentation, you will discover works by designers from the collection of Design Museum Den Bosch. These designers explore, in diverse ways, the relationship between the body and technology, nature, identity and culture.
Cosplay
Cosplay (a contraction of the words costume and play) is a subculture in which people dress up as their favorite characters from films, books, games or comic books. But it encompasses much more than that: cosplay represents a global youth culture, a commercial success, the ultimate expression of fandom and subversive and creative play. Millions of people worldwide are involved in cosplay.
