The Design Museum is one of London's most inspiring attractions. Concerned as much with the future as the past, a programme of critically acclaimed exhibitions captures the excitement of design's evolution, ingenuity and inspiration through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Since its foundation in 1989, the museum has become the UK's cultural champion of design and won international acclaim for exhibitions of modern design history and contemporary design innovation

The Design Museum is the UK's biggest provider of design education resources and acts as a bridge between the design community, industry and education. The world's leading designers and architects participate in the public programme. The Design Museum nurtures new design talent by running bursary schemes for gifted young designers and showcasing their projects in international touring exhibitions.
