Het Nieuwe Instituut – Museum for Architecture, Design and Digital Culture
The Museum for Architecture, Design and Digital Culture examines the designed world and how it is constantly being changed by new technologies, new ideas and shifting social priorities. Innovation – the fulcrum of all Het Nieuwe Instituut’s activities – will be expressed in both speculative explorations of the future and critical reflections on innovative movements past and present. A vision to whom Bolon can relate with! Make sure to visit it’s national archive for architecture and urban planning. Side note: in. 2021 there will be the Largest Museum Depot from Booijmans van Beuningen just across from the street.
