London's Design Museum to Move to New Premises

Posted by Frances Spiegel Sep 30, 2009

The Design Museum announced recently that plans to re-locate its comprehensive collections have now been approved.

The site chosen for the new museum is that of the former Commonwealth Institute, in Kensington High Street, which has been empty for many years.

Moving the Design Museum to its new home will provide three times more space in which to display the museum's vast collections. The museum will become one of the world's leading centres for the study of design and architecture.
