The installation offers ample room for art and design, with atmospheres that promote relaxation, contemplation and focus amidst the hectic pace of Milan Design Week. The Museum is a journey through different spaces in which a visitor constantly undergoes a facet of Dutch creativity: architecture, photography, music, design, fashion, VR, film and digital communication. The pavilion that houses all the components is a connection of forms, designed by Space Encounters. The architects have linked each creative discipline to different ambassadors, with one underlying theme: all exhibits grab the visitor from the bustle and place them in a different world.

Wonderwater is a project developed by Jane Withers and Kari Korkman to raise awareness of global water issues and design for a sustainable future. The water footprint is an increasingly important tool for understanding our water consumption and using water responsibly and sustainably. The idea is similar to the carbon footprint, but with a focus on the use of water. We use large amounts of domestic water for washing, drinking and cooking, but considerably more water for producing food, paper, cotton and almost every other physical product we consume.
