The exhibition invites visitors to explore the diversity of materials that shape our world. Powered by matériO', The Barn showcases over 1,500 special, unique and innovative materials—from rare textiles to sustainable resources. Each material tells its own story, challenging visitors to reconsider their relationship with precious, finite resources while encouraging mindful consumption through repair, preservation, reuse and recycling. This hands-on experience offers a distinctive space for inspiration, where visitors can physically engage with materials and connect with thousands of producers to bring their creative visions to life.

Come and meet us to get inspired!
