A resolutely modern museum that presents new design and architectural innovations every year. Since November 2016, the museum has moved to Kensington, in the museum district. In the abundant permanent exhibition entitled "Designer, Maker, User", you can discover models, plans and videos that testify to the ingenuity of today's designers and the spectacular evolution of shapes and materials. More than 1,000 pieces are presented. We really like the different screens of this exhibition which allow the youngest (and not only) to try their hand at the art of design and to understand its stakes. The section on London transport is also particularly successful. Or the showcase on the evolution of our computers, from the first MacBook to today. And finally, our favorite is this amusing wall covered with objects characteristic of our time, present at the entrance of the permanent exhibition: the panels of the Tube, the famous blue bag from Ikea, our Stan Smith... Have fun recognizing the objects that populate your daily life, and exhibitions also aim to showcase the work of young designers who participate in the Designer of the Year competition. Temporary exhibitions are always sharp and original. And the various themes: the couturier Azzedine Alaïa, the houses of the future, Stanley Kubrick, Ferrari, life in March... Don't miss out on a visit to the museum's shop, filled with design and cool objects.
