Review:
The Design Museum is a lovely graphic, fashion, and architectural design museum in London's Kensington district, founded and opened to the public by Sir Terence Conran in 1989. The museum, which received the European Museum of the Year Award in 2018, is housed within a gorgeous landmark building that formerly housed the Commonwealth Institute. Unique exhibits showcase permanent and temporary exhibitions highlighting items from the museum's permanent collections, which include furniture, product, and industrial design items. A reference library contains materials related to architecture and design, while a restaurant and residency studio are located on the museum's top floor. Other facilities include the Swarovski Foundation Centre for Learning, which features a design studio, seminar rooms, and a creative workshop.
