Gallery 1 This November the exhibition The Hoodie opens. This ubiquitous garment says a great deal about the age in which we live. During Museumnacht010, Het Nieuwe Instituut is launching a partnership with Rotterdammers aged between 17 and 21. What do you think this exhibition should focus on? What kind of accompanying event would you like to organise?

Het Nieuwe Café Create your own chair in Het Nieuwe Café. During Rotterdam Museum Night, the café celebrates the centenary of the Bauhaus with Bouwhouse, in which the public can rebuild the café to their heart's desire using cubes. Accompanied by cocktails with ice cubes and stackable snacks!

Foyer At NAI Booksellers, books and giftson architecture, urban design and landscape architecture are available all night.

Gallery 1 The Netherlands does not have a national design archive. As a result, much valuable knowledge about Dutch design and many source materials, sketches, colour studies and prototypes are currently being lost. With the Speculative Design Archive, Het Nieuwe Instituut is exploring what such an archive for design and digital culture might look like. Who will preserve these objects for the future? And which objects should be preserved? And why and how? Which masterpieces are spread across the country? What is the value of forgotten treasures? Who will contribute to this discussion?

Gallery 2 Discover how a nondescript space full of lockers provides access to a great variety of presentations, from a remake of John Lennon's and Yoko Ono's bed in the Hilton Hotel in Amsterdam to a new interpretation of Constant's New Babylon and the invisible Indian labour behind Western architectural practice. The official Dutch contribution to the 2018 Architecture Biennale is now on display at Het Nieuwe Instituut.

Gallery 2 During Museum Night, Krump dancers Brui5er and The Empress will fill the spaces of _WORK, BODY, LEISURE_ with their power, expression and energy.

Throughout the building How resilient are the residents of Rotterdam-Zuid? Like last year, students of the Willem de Kooning Academie are assessing Rotterdammers' resilience, this time in Rotterdam-Zuid. During Museum Night, you can test your own and your friends' resilience using question cards. Be inspired by the residents of Rotterdam-Zuid and practice your street slang in a karaoke song.

Which energy source do you need? Positive emotions such as satisfaction and enthusiasm enable you to broaden your perspective and identify more possibilities. You try out new things and develop yourself. Explore the positive energy to be found in Rotterdam-Zuid and get energized!

Foyer A hand-tufted and beaded carpet that depicts the unseen realities of designer Pascale Theron's fellow South Africans.

Gallery 3 According to the jury, Alessandra Covini, the winner of the _2018 Prix de Rome for Architecture_, designed 'a refreshing plan that proposes new forms of public spaces, and which exudes pleasure, positive energy and humour'. The four nominees for the oldest and most generous Dutch prize for architects under 35 are presenting their final assignment at Het Nieuwe Instituut: a design for the Sixhaven area in Amsterdam.
