First bit is specifically about the Barbie Exhibition that runs into early 2025, £15pp entry for us. Tickets run out way in advance so make sure you book beforehand, took us about an hour to have a good wander around.nnAbsolutely fantastic selection of Barbie's and full of nostalgia. There were a couple films explaining things but mostly it was reading so have glasses at the ready!nnThere were a couple Barbie's for kids to pose/play with but mostly the people attending were adults when we went being adults ourselves we didn't mind.nnI would say I was expecting more from the film, this was very much about the doll with from what I could see only two or three bits from the film at the end.nn-------------------------------------------nnGeneral ReviewnnVery little on the ground floor, but the cafe is nice and there is a little gift shop Never miss the gift shop. There is a cafe upstairs as well which is better appointed with soft chairs do id recommend that one over the one on the ground floor.nnA very cool space that can be rented out, good I think for businesses that have a large event.nnUpstairs there is a good space where there are lots of interactive videos which is great, but generally quite a bit smaller than we were expecting. You could do the whole thing in 45 minutes if you want to look at most stuff not in the specific exhibition spaces.
What an impressive place, and not just for designers. Walking through its exhibits, I felt as if I had stepped into one of the most captivating books on design. The museum is an inspiring space, full of interesting artifacts and displays that engage visitors. The storytelling throughout the exhibitions is fantastic, guiding you seamlessly from one fascinating piece to the next. Whether you're a design enthusiast or simply curious, this museum offers a unique and enriching experience. Would highly recommend and would love to visit again soon
My recent trip to the Museum of Design in London was truly fantastic! One of the best parts? It's completely free, which means anyone can explore its wonders without spending a penny.nnInside, there's so much to see and learn! From cool historical stuff to modern designs, I was blown away by the variety of exhibits. Whether you're into buildings, clothes, gadgets, or art, there's something for everyone here.nnI had a blast checking out all the different displays and learning about how design has changed over time. It was super interesting and gave me a whole new appreciation for creativity!Overall, I'd totally recommend visiting the Museum of Design. It's free, fun, and full of cool stuff to see. I'm definitely planning on going back again soon!nnIn my book, the Museum of Design gets a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It's a must-visit spot for anyone who loves learning about cool designs and exploring museums.
What you see on photos or read other reviews do not reflect what you see & feel in reality. It is Highly recommended for this museum. I have learned a lot. It is FREE but you can support with donation. Do not forget the shop inside the museum and extra shop according the seasonal exhibition.
The Design Museum presents a truly refreshing atmosphere with its immaculate cleanliness and abundant spaces where one can comfortably rest and reflect.nThe ambiance is genuinely inviting, making it a pleasant place to visit.nnHowever, I must admit that the exhibitions did not quite meet my expectations. While the museum's setting is impeccable, the displays themselves lacked a certain captivating quality. They failed to fully engage me, which was a bit of a disappointment.nnOverall, the museum excels in providing a serene environment, but it could benefit from more dynamic and intriguing exhibitions to match its splendid surroundings.
