Design Museum Kensington
Beste tijd om te bezoeken
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.
Budgettips
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.
Aanbevolen voor
Design enthusiasts, Architecture lovers, Creative professionals, Curious travelers

Over
Korte feiten: Het Design Museum verhuisde in 2016 naar zijn huidige onderkomen, een verbouwd modernistisch gebouw uit de jaren zestig dat ooit het Commonwealth Institute huisvestte, na een transformatie van 83 miljoen pond. Je vindt er meer dan 1.000 objecten opgesteld, van meubels en mode tot typografie en digitale interfaces.
Hoogtepunten: De adembenemende parabolische koperen dakconstructie van het museum, oorspronkelijk gebouwd voor het Commonwealth Institute, is zorgvuldig bewaard gebleven en overspoelt het interieur nu met natuurlijk licht via een groot atrium. Kijk omhoog wanneer je binnenkomt: het golvende plafond creëert een bijna kathedraalachtige sfeer, terwijl de oorspronkelijke betonnen hyperbolische paraboloïde structuur volledig zichtbaar is gebleven.
