Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven

Late in the morning Alice, Adam, Esme, and I left by public transport for the Dutch Design Week. After a bus trip, and two train trips we arrived in the city of Eindhoven where the event was held.

After we had bought our family ticket we took a bus to the Evoluon museum, which is shaped like a flying saucer.

On the ground floor I admired the Urban Reef and the Algorithmic Perfumery. We also saw all kinds of materials made by bacteria and funghi.

After we had walked around a bit and eaten an ice cream we got for free we decided to pay the fee for visting the other levels of the museum which held the Retro Future Expo. We didn't have to pay for Alice and Adam. We spent quite some time on those levels: there was a lot to see and do.

After the expo we walked to a nearby building for another part of the Dutch Design Week. We had to go to the back of a building and enter a creepy looking elevator which took us to the eight floor.

I liked "Hyle square 22.2" a lot, and both the sea turtle and exoot "animaltroniek".

After looking around for a bit longer we left the building and paid a visit to several nearby small shops. We had a nice dinner in nearby restaurant "Ketelhuis". Afterwards we took the bus to the central station and soon where on our way back home.
