Sharpen your students’ perspective
Whether you visit the museum with students from a creative, social or technical programme, we challenge them to reflect critically on what they see. Design is more than a product. It is a response to complex questions.During the visit, we analyse the context behind the designs, connect them to current research and explore the boundaries of the field. A visit to Design Museum Gent is guaranteed to sharpen your view of innovation and social impact.
