The Design Museum Den Bosch (previously: Stedelijk Museum 's-Hertogenbosch, SM's) is a museum for modern art in 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands. The Design Museum focuses on contemporary visual arts and design. It is specialized in ceramic art and jewelry. Modern visual arts like paintings will be exhibited by the Noordbrabants Museum, not by the Design Museum The history of the museum starts in 1956, when the Royal Academy for Art and Design in 's-Hertogenbosch organized its first international exhibit. At about the same time, a study collection of ceramic objects was started. This led to the creation of the Municipal Exhibition Service or Gemeentelijke Tentoonstellingsdienst, which was made independent in 1972. This service was then based in the Kruithuis. The Kruithuis also came to house the 'Foundation for Visual Arts Loans', or Stichting Uitleen Beeldende Kunst. The Ceramics collection also moved to the Kruithuis, but was put in storage in 1981. The name became 'Museum het Kruithuis'. In 1988 the museum started to collect jewelry. This became an international collection going back to 1950. More information...
