Circle

As a Circle member, you enjoy a close connection with the Nieuwe Instituut and its board, you act as an ambassador for the Dutch design field, and you help make our education and talent programmes a reality.

You will receive invitations for you and a guest to all our openings and to VIP events such as curator-led tours and meet-the-designer evenings, the annual Circle trip, exclusive Circle cocktail parties and behind-the-scenes tours of the National Collection for Dutch Architecture and Urban Planning. Naturally, you and a guest can enjoy free admission to the Nieuwe Instituut and Sonnveld house every day, plus discounts for the café, bookshop and venue hire in the institute.

You can become a Circle member of the Nieuwe Instituut for a minimum annual contribution of €3500. For a minimum contribution of €5000, you can join our Circle Sponsors. Circle Sponsors enjoy exceptional benefits, get a special mention in the annual reports and on the plaque, and can set up their own Circle as desired.
