The Design Museum Den Bosch (previously: Stedelijk Museum ‘s-Hertogenbosch, SM’s) is a museum for modern art in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands.

Focus of the Design Museum

The Design Museum focuses on contemporary visual arts and design. It is specialized in ceramic art and jewelry. Modern visual arts like paintings will be exhibited by the Noordbrabants Museum, not by the Design Museum

Design Museum Den Bosch looks beyond design. We show the influence of design on our daily lives, tell the stories behind it. We highlight the cultural meaning of design in the past, the present and the future.

We show design always has an origin and leads to new developments. Like the exhibition about radical Italian design between 1960 and 1980. And California: Designing Freedom, which proves that fifty years of Californian design (still) impacts us today.
