Programme 2025
Diversity in Design: A glittering year at MK&G
The MK&G will kick off the year 2025 with a dazzling exhibition that celebrates Glitter as the expression of a lifestyle and a diverse society. Design devotees can look forward to the second major exhibition of the year, "Hello Image", which features iconic highlights from the museum’s first-rate collection and looks at how design objects have been staged historically in graphic art and product photography. With the reconceived presentation of the SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa) collection as well as shows devoted to Sara Sallam, Jojo Gronostay and the fashion label XULY.Bët, the museum is venturing beyond its Eurocentric perspective.

Online Collection

Online, you can discover a selection of around 26,000 of the more than 600,000 objects in the collection and freely reuse many of the digitised objects. Some of them have already been the inspiration for novels, models for new works of art, DIY or school projects. The information and images published online also form the basis for scientific research and illustrate the diversity of MK&G's collection areas. We have redesigned the offer according to the wishes of the users. Find your favourite objects and new discoveries (think cat content!).
