Welcome to the Design Museum! We’re glad you’re here. We’re a new kind of museum, our mission:Inspire social change through the transformative power of design. We inspire people by showing what’s possible through public exhibitions, events, and content. We educate people to become creative problem solvers using the design process. We transform, using design to take action and make change, demonstrating its impact. We believe design can change the world. Done well, it can elevate our quality of life, make businesses more competitive, and protect our environment. Everything is designed. Design is a creative problem solving process — and problems come in all shapes and sizes. Creating a new product is a type of problem, so is figuring out how a business enters a new market, or providing access to clean drinking water.
