Museum
Become a Friend, Member or Patron of Design Museum Den Bosch and help us inspire more people with design.
Design Museum Den Bosch was founded in 1985 and is the leading design museum in the Netherlands. Based on the vision that “design is the world and the world is design”, Design Museum Den Bosch offers visitors insight into how the world around us is designed and how people actively shape their own lives. We do this through appealing exhibitions, public programmes, education, research and collection acquisitions. We have ambitious plans for the future, focusing on reaching a younger audience, enriching our unique design collection, and organising special and high-profile exhibitions with a national appeal. You can help us achieve this by becoming a friend, participating in one of our giving circles, or making a one-off donation or naming a fund.

Are there any tax advantages for donations?
Design Museum Den Bosch is a cultural ANBI. This means that as a private individual, you enjoy tax benefits because your regular donation is fully tax-deductible and even subject to a multiplier of 1.25. Nowadays, you no longer need to visit a solicitor to set up a regular donation; you can arrange this yourself using this form from the tax authorities. For more information, please visit the tax authorities’ website, consult your own accountant, or contact Pim Hoff or Lenneke Beunk using the contact details below.
Example
For a donation of €500 per year, the deductible amount is €625. You will receive a tax refund of €231 for this amount, which means your donation will only cost you €269. For a donation of €1,000 per year, the deductible amount is €1,250. You will then receive a tax refund of €462, meaning your donation will only cost you €538. The amount of tax relief you receive depends on your income. The relief can be as high as 50% for income from box 3. In 2024, the percentage was 37.07% and from 2025 onwards it will be 36.93%.
