Bio Living Lab @ Deutsches Museum
Munich, October 2-9, 2025

Dive into the fascinating world of biomaterials!

The Bio Living Lab @ Deutsches Museum curated by Studio Nima invites you to explore some of the latest innovations in bio-based materials – from packaging and building materials to next-generation leather and textile alternatives. And make sure to explore our educational formats, including guided tours, workshops, and live experiments, that allow visitors to get a unique chance to experience these innovations hands-on.

Shoes made from mycelium? Packaging crafted from algae? Textiles made from agricultural byproducts? Find out how these innovations are advancing, what challenges remain, and the impact they could have on building a sustainable future. As part of the Bio Living Lab, we offer a curated exhibition highlighting pioneering solutions derived from nature, including Sway’s bio-based plastic alternative made from seaweed, Traceless’s natural polymers derived from agricultural waste, Colorifix’s colors produced by bacteria, and many more. 

The Bio Living Lab is supported by the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy. The exhibition and educational formats are available in English and/or German. Please check the language specified for each program.
