Design Museum

The Design Museum in Kensington shows product, industrial, graphic, fashion and architectural design. Founded in 1989 by Sir Terence Conran at Shad Thames, it moved in 2016 into the former Commonwealth Institute, a listed 1960s building with a hyperbolic paraboloid roof, where the collection display Designer Maker User fills the top floor.
