The Red Dot Design Museum in Essen is more than just an exhibition space - it is an experience of innovation and aesthetics. Here, the importance of excellent design in our everyday lives is emphasized and has been since the Red Dot Design Awards began in 1955. With around 2,000 exhibits from over 50 countries that have been honored in one of the most prestigious design competitions, the Red Dot Award, it offers an inspiring look at the limitless possibilities of product design.

In the iconic boiler house of the Zeche Zollverein, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, five levels full of exhibitions await creative explorers. Design comes to life on 4,000 square meters: Touching, exploring and experiencing are not only allowed, but expressly encouraged. Here, visitors are invited to interact with the works on display, be it furniture designs or high-tech innovations.

For those seeking emotional and intellectual stimulation, the museum offers themed special exhibitions and workshops that focus on the latest trends and technological breakthroughs in design. Beyond the mainstream, a space for creative discovery and unconventional inspiration unfolds - a must-visit for design-savvy explorers from near and far.

A visit to the Red Dot Design Museum is the perfect opportunity to spend time in an outstanding architectural masterpiece that is itself a significant testimony to the industrial history of the Ruhr region. Be inspired by the unique fusion of history, art and futuristic vision.
