Design Museum

The Design Museum is the only place in the UK where the design industry, education and the public can come together to change the way people think about themselves and the future.
The museum is a registered charity founded in 1989. The Design Museum is temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Design Museum's vision is a world where everyone values design. The museum's purpose is to make the impact of the design visible. It aims to achieve this by:
- Building public awareness of design by connecting design with people’s lives and passions
- Reflecting the designer’s role at the forefront of social, technological and environmental change
- Serving the design community. Design is a practice, a diverse discipline, infinitely rich in approaches and characters. It is a young discipline, whose role in the world is evolving. Our unique approach to working with designers is to invite them to ‘think in public’ with us.
