Récents 5 avis surDesign Museum
make your mind on design
The Design Musuem is lean on design.
So the exhibition concept is mixed up with different exhibits
and these are even poorly presented.
Even friends who are not into arts ask for it’s qualification.
I am wondering why anything changes over the years.
At least the best thing is it’s small dimensions so you
don’t have to spent to much time on it.
What design?
I visited the Centre on 1 May 2006 and have many words to describe the farcical experience - craptastic, inherently lacklustre and as my normally spritely companion stated (who was overcome with lethargy mid way into the exhibit), overwhelmingly underwhelming.
Two levels holding an incoherent slap dash of chairs, discarded bicyles and album covers. Had I entered a crackhouse used by Ikea designer dropouts or what proudly annouces itself as the worlds first 20th century design museum?
I would have gained greater insight into the world of design watching MTV in four day old underwear. And kept my £20.
Spent an entire day enthralled - make sure to visit
The Design Museum is mecca for those interested in things such as Edward Tufte's " The Visual Display of Quantitative Information". It's all about the history of nonverbal communications - taking complex data and turning it into information. They have a really neat overview of the London Tube and it's famous map - geographically imprecise, but now THE reference for millions of people. It was part of an exhibition "You Are Here: The Design of Information" through 5/15/05. There is also a cool section where the exhibit follows the major social trends over the twentieth century: worldwide travel, consumerism, internet, etc. A highly recommended visit!
It made my trip
Granted, one exhibit was closed for installation the day I visited the museum. However, I got in at a discounted price because of that. But if you're going to galleries you're bond to run into a couple that are closed for installation. The areas that were open were a lot of fun--the exhibit was for Designer of the Year-- and unlike many galleries and museums in London, you can take pictures. In the permanant display, I even found the original Atari I played with as a kid! To make the most of your visit, check the website, www.designmuseum.org, to see what shows are up.
Not a place for children
My boyfriend, myself and a 7 year-old decided to check out the Design museum for a day trip to London recently. With a budding artist/scientist/inventor in the making we thought this would be a great family day out as she had enjoyed the Natural history museum.
We actually had seen the whole place within 1.5 hours and that included a coffee break and playing games with the black rubber strip curtains between the exhibits on the first floor.
I think this museum is better targetted to the adult art gallery lovers.
