Design Ah! Experience the Wonder of Everyday Design is an interactive, family-friendly exhibition that explores design and its role in everyday actions. Through hands-on games, participatory installations, and immersive audiovisual environments, visitors are encouraged to look closely, try things out, and learn through play. The exhibition sheds light on how design can improve our lives, influence our behaviours, and foster human connections.

Everyday life unfolds through interactions with many objects, from chopsticks and toothbrushes to buses, traffic lights, and much more. Each item was designed by someone who considered how it would be used and how it could improve daily routines. Design Ah! invites visitors to see and play with ordinary objects in new and unexpected ways, and to explore how they use their bodies, including their eyes, hands, and feet, to understand the world around them. The exhibition features 21 stations organised around 10 daily actions, some of which reference Hong Kong’s visual environment and culinary traditions. Developed through playfulness, ingenuity, and observation, these encounters spark curiosity and create moments of inspiration that will make everyone say ‘Ah!’.

The exhibition concept is based on ‘Design Ah! neo’, a well-known children’s educational television programme produced by Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai (NHK, the Japan Broadcasting Corporation), and the exhibition is produced by NHK Educational Corporation, NHK Promotion Inc. and TOKYO NODE.
