Museum door de stad travels for 3 years through the city with installations inspired by the culture historic collection of Eindhoven Museum. In 2018 5 designers will get to work with the themes past, present and future of our food. The installations can be seen during the Dutch Design Week in Sectie-C and during the Fijne Feestdagen Festival in the Warehouse of innovation.
Museum door de stad is traveling to the Warehuis of Innovation right in the centre of Eindhoven. Of course the installations of Mies Loogman, Jelle Mastenbroek & Daniël de Bruin, Lucas Maassen & Hossie, Zoë Jacobs and Chloé Rutzerveld are going to be there, but you can also join in with the workshops by Lucas & Hossie, Zoë and Chloé. Keep an eye on the website for the details!
Lucas Maasen and Hossie are presenting the vrijgieterij during the secret life of materials, from the 10th of November until the 9th of December. The project is a way to update the collection and a way to preserve the cultural heritage for the future. See more information on the website.
