Workshop

Design in Action

Book your workshop

In this workshop, pupils are more than museum visitors. They become designers themselves. Equipped with a design challenge, they explore the museum galleries in search of inspiration and clever solutions hidden among theobjects in the collection. How did designers before them solve problems? 

Back in the studio, the real design process begins. Pupils brainstorm, visualise, sketch, experiment and, above all, try things out. Step by step, they experience how ideas grow into designs. 

At the end of the workshop, every pupil leaves with a personal sketchbook filled with ideas, experiments and creative discoveries. They then present their design process and final concepts to one another.
