Design museum
Type of museum
A design museum is a museum with a focus on product , industrial , graphic , fashion and architectural design.
Many design museums were founded as museums for applied arts or decorative arts and started only in the late 20th century to collect design .
The first museum of this kind was the Victoria and Albert Museum in London .[citation needed In Germany the first museum of decorative arts was the Deutsches-Gewerbe-Museum zu Berlin (now Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin .[ 1]
Also some museums of contemporary or modern art have important design collections, like the MoMA in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris .
A special concept has been realised in the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich , in which four independent museums cooperate, one of them being Die Neue Sammlung – the largest design museum in the world.
Today corporate museums like the Vitra Design Museum , Museo Alessi or Museo Kartell play an important role.
