Dutch Design Week

This year, the Next Nature Museum in the iconic Evoluon is once again one of the many locations hosting Dutch Design Week. During this anniversary edition, we are celebrating the future of design with the Digital Futures exhibition and several events.

Digital Futures is part of the DDW programme and is free to visit. A museum ticket is required for the RetroFuture and Digital Wellness Centre exhibitions.

Saturday, 18 - Sunday, October 26

Digital Futures

With Digital Futures, DDW explores how technology is reshaping our world and experiences; from virtual realities and artificial intelligence to global platforms and personal journeys. Designers raise critical questions and imagine new ways of living and creating.

Through raw ideas, critical questions and sensory experiences, Digital Futures embodies Dutch Design Week’s commitment to innovation and experimentation, inspiring visitors to engage with the future of design and the design of the future.
