The Design Museum represents the best of what design can be.
Design Museum is advancing the conversation on inclusivity in design by holding to their vision, that design is for everyone.
MISSION
Bring the transformative
power of design everywhere.
Accessibility
Design is for everyone. Design is everywhere, so we are too. We’re online and we pop-up in places all over the city to engage as many people as possible. And we’re committed to improving the diversity of the design field.
Improvement
Design solves problems. We are entrepreneurial and flexible, we are not constrained by existing approaches, we start with real-world problems and we’re committed to using design for the greater good.
Community
Design is collaborative. We are a participatory museum, meaning there are many ways for individuals to not only enjoy our programming and content, but to be part of it as well. We’re collaborative and community-focused.
