Design Museum Kensington
Mejor época para visitar
Weekday mornings (right at 10am opening) are quietest, especially Tuesday through Thursday. The permanent collection gets less crowded than the temporary exhibitions, so visit those during peak hours instead.
Consejos para el presupuesto
General admission to the permanent collection is free, though special exhibitions carry a ticket fee (around £12-18). Book timed tickets online in advance to skip the queue, and check for free Friday late openings during certain exhibition runs.

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: El Museo del Diseño se mudó a su hogar actual, un edificio modernista convertido de los años sesenta que una vez albergó el Instituto de la Commonwealth, en 2016 tras una transformación de 83 millones de libras. Encontrará más de 1,000 objetos en exhibición que abarcan desde muebles y moda hasta tipografía e interfaces digitales.
Destacados: El impresionante techo de cobre parabólico del museo, construido originalmente para el Instituto de la Commonwealth, se conservó cuidadosamente y ahora inunda el interior con luz natural a través de un vasto atrio. Mire hacia arriba al entrar: el techo abovedado crea una atmósfera casi catedralicia, mientras que la estructura original de hormigón de paraboloide hiperbólico permanece completamente expuesta.
