Amsterdam Museum Field Trip 2014

The field trip kicks off the Museum Course, where Knowledge Integration students practise interdisciplinary collaboration and design by creating original, working museum exhibits. They’ve started by studying museums in Amsterdam, and they'll finish with an exhibition of their own work in March 2015.

Here are some photos from their trip!
