Design Museum
The Design Museum was opened in 1989 as part of Terence Conran's 'village' on Butler's Wharf, and is now a national museum.
The Design Museum is an international museum of 20th and 21st century design, fashion and architecture.
The museum closed in June 2016 to prepare for its relocation to Kensington.
