Opening Garden Futures

Nieuwe Instituut and the Vitra Design Museum cordially invite you to the festive opening of Garden Futures: Designing with Nature. The garden is back in the spotlight, not only as an idyllic retreat, but also as a testing ground for new ideas and experiments with biodiversity, social justice and a sustainable future.

15 November 2024 18:00 - 22:00
