    Cute museum, great installations, even greater gift shop. Easy access(tram, metro, buses outside), great surroundings. There is even a library inside. Big storage space (you can’t even take your bag or water bottle inside the exhibition), it needs a euro to lock. Low ticket fare. The permanent exhibition was not big but it’s like an initiation for kids into design, in my opinion. I recommend it for kids. The space itself is so fun for kids; different levels, electrical staircases etc. The stuff was also very helpful and kind. If you need to get a nice gift to someone, ai recommend this gift shop. Great variety of beautiful things.

    The lre is something for everyone here. Well layer out and curated. Great shop and seating and cafe and clean bathrooms. The peripheries are excellent, but the materials wall is worth the price alone. Clear two hours and go study it. Then talk to friends about systems and community and connection.
