Das Museum entdecken
Produktdesign, visuelle Kommunikation, Mode, Kunsthandwerk, Architektur und Fotografie: Das Museum zeigt an zwei Standorten jährlich zwischen fünf und sieben facettenreiche Ausstellungen zu aktuellen Themenfeldern im Design.
Kleinere Inszenierungen und Interventionen ergänzen das Programm und erzählen von gestalteten Dingen und vom Umgang mit Bildern oder von Gestalterpersönlichkeiten.
Virtuell – in Bild und Text, Video und Ton – bietet der neue eGuide Informationen und Geschichten zu über 200 ausgestellten Objekten aus der Sammlung des Museums.
Erkunden Sie auf unterschiedlichen Rundgängen die Design- und Grafik-Highlights in den Sammlungsausstellungen am Standort Ausstellungsstrasse.
Im Standort im Toni-Areal vereint das Museum seine Sammlungen – Design, Grafik, Kunstgewerbe und Plakat – mit insgesamt über 500 000 Objekten.
Das eindrückliche Sammlungsarchiv kann an regelmässig stattfindenden, geführten Rundgängen besichtigt werden.
Bitte beachten Sie, dass das Schaudepot ausschliesslich in den Führungen zugänglich ist und die Teilnehmerzahl aus konservatorischen Gründen begrenzt.
