Design Museum Dedel: posters and wallpaper in a town house

Design Museum Huis Dedel in The Hague focuses on two-dimensional design. Posters and wallpaper are shown in an interior that is itself very much present as you look.

Plan your visit ↗

An image with a function

A poster aims to attract attention and convey information. Look at how lettering, colour and image work together, and how that differs from a design intended mainly as a wall covering.

Pattern across a surface

With wallpaper, repetition and the relationship to a room matter. Take that scale into account as you look, rather than judging only a single motif or a single colour.

The building as a backdrop

The Baroque architecture is a different kind of design alongside the exhibition. Note the relationship between the current display and the rooms in which it is shown.

Before you go

The visitor entrance is around the corner in the Jan Hendrikstraat. Check public holiday closures and discuss group tours or accessibility in advance.
