The Design Museum is the world’s leading museum devoted to contemporary architecture and design. Founded in 1989 by Sir Terence Conran, the museum is the place in the UK where the design industry, education and the public come together to change the way people think about themselves and the future through the lens of design.

Situated in Kensington and housed in a landmark 1960s grade II* listed building, reimagined by John Pawson in 2016, the museum celebrates the full spectrum of the design landscape - from fashion and industrial innovation to digital craft, automotive design, and sustainable architecture. Through a critically acclaimed programme of world-class exhibitions, public commissions, and international touring projects, the museum champions exceptional craft, pioneering innovation, and the cultural impact of design on modern life.

As a registered educational charity and an Independent Research Organisation, the Design Museum bridges heritage with forward-looking enterprise. It nurtures the next generation of creative talent through dedicated learning initiatives, residency programmes, and sector-leading industry partnerships. By connecting visionary creators with global audiences, the Design Museum champions design as a vital catalyst for enterprise, cultural identity, and positive social change.
