Nieuwe Instituut
Discover MONO JAPAN’s cultural programme at the Nieuwe Instituut, the Netherlands’ national museum and institute for architecture, design and digital culture. Through lectures, workshops, and special events, the institute becomes a space for exchange—where ideas meet craft, and past meets future.
Based in Rotterdam, the institute’s mission is to embrace the power and potential of new thinking, exploring past, present and future ideas in order to imagine, test and enact a better tomorrow.
Encouraging visitors of all ages to question, rethink and contribute, the institute’s exhibitions, public programmes, research, and wide-reaching national and international initiatives provide a testing ground for collaboration with leading designers, thinkers and diverse audiences, critically addressing the urgent questions of our times.
In addition to housing the National Collection for Dutch Architecture and Urban Planning, the institute manages the 1933 Sonneveld House, a leading example of Dutch Functionalist architecture, as part of its campus in Rotterdam’s Museumpark.
