From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Type of museum
A design museum is a
museum with a focus on
product ,
industrial ,
graphic ,
fashion and
architectural design.
Many design museums were founded as museums for
applied arts or
decorative arts and started only in the late 20th century to collect
design .
The first museum of this kind was the
Victoria and Albert Museum in
London .[

Germany the first museum of decorative arts was the Deutsches-Gewerbe-Museum zu Berlin (now
Kunstgewerbemuseum ), founded in 1868 in
Berlin .

Also some museums of
contemporary or
modern art have important design collections, like the
MoMA in New York, the
Centre Pompidou in
Paris .
A special concept has been realised in the Pinakothek der Moderne in
Munich , in which four independent museums cooperate, one of them being
Die Neue Sammlung – the largest design museum in the world.
Today corporate museums like the
Vitra Design Museum , Museo Alessi or Museo Kartell play an important role.
