What if a used plastic bag could become part of a big inflatable artwork? 

Museo Aero Solar is a citywide collective artwork made entirely from discarded plastic bags, constructed through public workshops taking place across Amsterdam between July and September. As part of Synergy City, three participatory workshop sessions invite you to join the making process: cutting, sorting, taping, layering, drawing, and assembling materials into a large- scale inflatable structure that grows with every contribution.

Younger children are warmly invited to take part by drawing on the plastic bags. Older participants and adults join in the construction. No experience is needed; just bring your curiosity and a willingness to make something together.

Visitor Centre and drop-off location
Stop by the Museo Aero Solar Visitor Centre to learn more about the project and how to participate, and to drop off your used plastic bags.
- Open until 15 August, Wednesday and Friday (12:00–18:00)
- Plastic bag drop-offs possible every day

Museo Aero Solar
