Design Museum

The Design Museum in London is run as a registered charity, and holds exhibitions which cover architecture, graphic art, fashion and industrial designs. 

The Design Museum was founded in 1989 in London and was located in a 1940s banana warehouse on the South Bank of the River Thames. In 2011 £17.5 million was donated to enable the museum to move to High Street Kensington, West London.
