The Museumjung project was regularly presented on the exhibition wall in the vestibule of the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich. Sammeln & Gestalten showed the results of the project lessons of the same name as part of the "GuhlSchool".

In the second year of the project, the focus was on the work and ideas of Swiss design pioneer Willy Guhl. Under the label "GuhlSchool", various design and cultural techniques were used to explore Guhl's core themes. They ranged from material experiments and furniture construction to photographic field research in public spaces. Based on Guhl's photographic "bench collection", collecting as a source of knowledge for design was also addressed. Project lesson #7: Collecting & Design also took up ideas from the Industrial Design 2010 summer semester course at Burg Giebichenstein in Halle: "collecting, discovering, creating product collections and discovering relevant design approaches" (led by Guido Englich, Mark Braun and Tim Brauns).

Many designers create collections: They collect things, ideas, tools, images. What do such collections look like? How are they organized or categorized? How can collections inspire design processes? What and how do you collect? Which things go together? And why? In the project lessons, the students explored these questions in analog and digital form.

The students combined objects from the Brockenhaus and the hands-on object collection in the Education studio to create selected functional principles and documented their collections with sketches and photographs. With the help of the collaborative software "Figma", they created illustrations and visualized their collection projects in posters. In the Museumjung: Collecting & Design exhibition, "Figma" was also available to the museum public. They were invited to design posters with motifs and set pieces drawn by the pupils.

In the Museumjung project, formats with digital tools from "Kahoot!" to AI (artificial intelligence) were tested and further developed for the education of other exhibitions at the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich. The experiences and findings will be incorporated into the concept and education program for the new permanent exhibition of the collections, which will open in the Toni-Areal in 2025 to mark the 150th anniversary of the museum.

Im Rahmen des dreijährigen Outreachprojekts (April 2021 bis März 2024) öffnete sich das Museum für Gestaltung Zürich jugendgemässen Fragestellungen und Perspektiven. Im Fokus standen dabei das in der Sammlung bewahrte Kulturerbe, das Ausloten der spezifischen Potenziale von Designvermittlung sowie museologische und strategische Fragestellungen.
