A Museum in the Making
Join design studio OMMX for a playful, collaborative workshop where you’ll work together to reimagine the museum. Bring your ideas together in a collective mural as part of the Design Museum's 10th Anniversary Weekender.
This is a free event, and pre-booking is not required.
What to expect
What a museum could be? What should it stand for and how can it reflect the things that matter to you?
A Museum in the Making is an immersive collaborative workshop for young people. Working together on a single canvas, participants will cut, paste, write, and draw to playfully reimagine what a museum could be and what it should stand for. The resulting mural will capture an un’adult’erated vision of a generation’s desires, serving as a living blueprint for the New Collection Gallery.
This event is wheelchair accessible, with step-free access throughout the museum.
This event is suitable for children aged 5 to 14.
This event is in collaboration with OMMX.
