Away from home.

The Design Museum. A critique.

On a trip in to London I paid a first visit to The Design Museum. It was ok, but having been to the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin it had a lot to live up to, in my eyes. So, it isn't 'The' design museum, because there are others of at least equal standard. 'Design' was there in various forms, I'll give them that. (Women in positions of power and what they wore/wear; the annual Designs of the Year competition; some smaller work on health apps.) 'Museum' implies coverage of the history of design, which wasn't really in evidence. I look forward to visiting their new home once they move.
