The Design Museum has reopened!
The Design Museum, originally located by the River Thames near Tower Bridge, reopened last November on High Street Kensington. It was founded in 1989 by Sir Terence Conran (the famous designer and founder of Habitat and then the Conran Shop). The Design Museum worked with the John Pawson’s team on the museum’s interior fit-out to turn it into a 21st century’s landmark. I was quite excited a few weeks ago to see the new creation of Sir Conran. And you’ll see it’s worth the visit!

And once again, this museum offers free admission, therefore you have no excuse avoiding it…
