Design Museum

The Design Museum showcases contemporary design in every form, from fashion and graphics to products and architecture. Located in a stunning building in Kensington, the museum offers a permanent collection that explores the history and impact of design, along with a rotating programme of temporary exhibitions that delve into specific designers, movements, and contemporary issues. The free permanent exhibition, 'Designer, Maker, User', covers the entire design process, from the initial idea to the final product and its consumption. It features iconic designs that have shaped our world, from a Mini Cooper to the London Underground map, providing insights into the thinking behind everyday objects. The museum's mission is to celebrate design and understand its significance in our lives. It's a dynamic and thought-provoking space that appeals to anyone interested in creativity, innovation, and the way the built environment and objects around us are conceived and made. The shop also features an excellent selection of design-led products.
