There is more to the MUDE then just product design and fashion. It considers the concept of design in its various expressions in the 20th century, considering its progress within a historical context, and keeps pace with the contemporary world, showing design’s new trends and directions in the 21st century.

It aims to be a venue for debate on experimental creation and industrial production, discussion on the relationship between design, art and handicrafts, and reflection on today’s urban, socio-economic, environmental and technological challenges.

A place emphasizing the transversal nature of contemporary creation, inviting other forms of artistic expression and areas of knowledge to interact with the world of design.

Different viewpoints on design and fashion provide overlapping interpretations. Various collections portray trends over the course of the 20th century, present fashion in thematic exhibitions or highlight the work of specific authors. Plans are in place for rehearsal rooms to present artist residencies, laboratories, workshops and exhibition rooms for prototypes and industrial products (“When Industry Visits the Museum”). An auditorium and document centre round out the programme.
