Founded in 1989, this is the world's first museum dedicated to the study of 20th century design. Its two main galleries - housed in a spartan 1930s building - hold a historical collection which surveys design developments from the origins of mass production to the present day. The Collection gallery is mainly geared to design of historical significance, whereas the Review gallery is more contemporary in theme. Both galleries hold regularly-changing displays. Conran's Blue Print Cafe is on the first floor. Admission: £5.50 adults; £4 concessions, £4.50 students, £15 family ticket.
