Design Museum

Design Museum is a platform for exploring and enjoying thought provoking contemporary design in every form from furniture to graphics, and architecture to industrial design. Design Museum is design for you. 

Located by Tower Bridge on the river Thames, the museum offers a wide range of exhibitions, events, workshops and installations that provide a means for understanding the world and making it a better place. The museum showcases designers and architects, offers a platform for research and engagement with creative disciplines, and is a place for hands-on, design focused, learning experiences.  

A museum with a global outlook, Design Museum extends its reach with advocacy, learning projects, online and digital activities, touring exhibitions and a publishing programme. Committed to pushing the boundaries of what a ‘museum’ can be, Design Museum works creatively and closely with manufacturers, designers and thinkers to celebrate the most interesting and forward thinking design from all over the globe.
