Individually bookable tours by trained guides provide participants with all kinds of interesting facts about design. The focus can be on different areas: individual sectors, countries, brand products or developments. Guided tours can also be booked in English, Dutch and Polish.

Extracurricular places of learning are very popular with pupils, as they bring variety to everyday lessons and open up space for new experiences. When organising guided tours, we are happy to cater to your teaching content and wishes. When booking, please let our staff know what you would like to focus on.
The "FührungPlus" format, on the other hand, combines the classic guided tour focussed on providing information with a practical workshop in which we explore the topic of "materiality in design" together with the pupils using creative techniques such as sketching and frottage. » More information
