Design Museum Gent is closed. The museum is getting a new wing and a complete renovation. By 2025, all the buildings will be seamlessly connected and there will be extra space for temporary presentations, workshops, lectures and events, space for art handling and logistics, proper sanitary facilities and an elevator.
