We are happy to share that the students of our master program are participating in the 1ST INTERNATIONAL SUMMIT OF JEWELRY CLASSES AND POP-UP EXHIBITION
AT THE INVITATION OF DIE NEUE SAMMLUNG IN DER PINAKOTHEK DER MODERNE

06.03.2026, 19.00 PM

THE POP-UP EXHIBITION IS ONLY ON SHOW ON 6 MARCH 2026

In 2026, Die Neue Sammlung - The Design Museum under the roof of Munich’s Pinakothek der Moderne,
celebrates its 100th anniversary.

In 2026, Die Neue Sammlung - The Design Museum can proudly look back on 20 successful years of jewelry
exhibitions, a series that kicked off back in 2006 with the “Herman Jünger. Fundstücke” exhibition.
In 2026, the jewelry collection at Die Neue Sammlung is celebrating its 30th anniversary. In 1996, the first
piece of jewelry was acquired and responsibility for the Danner Foundation’s contemporary jewelry
collection was handed over to Die Neue Sammlung on permanent loan.
In 2026 Die Neue Sammlung - The Design Museum is teaming up with over 40 jewelry classes from all over
the world, covering 24 different countries, to celebrate the future of young contemporary jewelry.
The classes have taken it upon themselves to mastermind and present a pop-up exhibition exclusively for
the Friday evening of the Jewelry Weekend. The pop-up exhibition will only be on show at the Pinakothek der
Moderne and on the evening of the event.

And finally some images of the midterm jury of our master students.

Some impressions of the life drawing jury of the third year bachelor today.

The evaluation period has started. Today our second year bachelors presented their work from the design assignments and the drawing lessons.

Congratulations to alumna Kexin Zhang!
Kexin has been selected as the Louis Vuitton Design Graduates Initiative 2025 winner.

here is what the jury had to say:

Kexin Zhang is a Chinese designer with a rich background in jewelry, cultivated at Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts (TAFA) and honed at the prestigious Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, where she specialized in jewelry design, goldsmithing, and silversmithing.
Her dedication to excellence, keen fashion sensibility, and innovative spirit are evident in her meticulous attention to detail and exceptional craftsmanship. The projects she presented for the competition showcase her focused ambition to seamlessly integrate her existing skills with the world of leather goods design.“When I design, I’m driven to explore every possibility. The process feels limitless; I want to experience it all. This opportunity is an exciting avenue for that exploration,” says Kexin.

Kexin will join the design, creative, and studio teams for the House’s leather goods and accessories.
