Design Museum Gent: modern meets history

The Design Museum Gent will be closed for two years from 7 March 2022.

This impressive city residence in Rococo style was bought by the City of Ghent in 1922, and used it to house the Design Museum. The temporary exhibitions complement the magnificent permanent collection, from art nouveau to trends in contemporary design.

There is always something for families and children to do at the Design museum Gent. Play the museum game or take part in an exciting workshop. Everything is possible!

The play bag allows families with children aged between 0 and 3 to explore the collection presentation in a playful manner. Available at the museum’s ticket counter.

From 9 December 2022 to 29 January 2023, Design Museum Gent organises a Christmas card pop-up at Drabstraat 2. From Thursday to Saturday (and on Sunday 11 and 18 December and 8 January) you can buy postcards by 12 artists, among others, in the afternoon. Part of the proceeds will go to charity.
