Did you know there was a Design Museum?

The Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum to be exact! It’s located in New York city (Manhattan). They feature design in all it’s disciples – graphic design, illustration, textile, product design, interior design, fashion design, technology design, and architecture. It’s nice to know the Smithsonian saw a need for praising and honoring various facets of this noteworthy art form. So, next time you’re in New York city, why not skip the usual museum fare, and stop by the Design Museum? You really can’t beat the $15 admission price.

And if this museum’s mission couldn’t get any better, they also host the Annual National Design Awards, which honors the best in American design. There are normally a few free art/design panels and discussions in D.C. too. Check out the site.
