Microlab Hall

On the outskirts of the creative district of Strijp-S, you'll find Microlab Hall, hiding in plain sight: its facade boldly bears the name MICROLAB. Nowadays, it serves primarily as a collaborative workspace for various creative makers, but back in the 1970s, Philips famously produced its renowned Matchline TVs here.

Since 2021, Microlab Hall has been one of DDW's own locations. Here, you'll encounter both individual projects and collections, as well as group exhibitions. Access to Microlab Hall is granted exclusively with a DDW ticket.
