London Design Museum
The Design Museum is a museum by the River Thames near Tower Bridge in central London. The museum covers product, industrial, graphic, fashion and architectural design. It was founded in 1989 and claims to have been the first museum of modern design. In 2007 the museum was listed by the Times newspaper as number two in their top 5 museums of the year. It is a small museum, with exhibitions over two floors, and a "Design Museum Tank" exhibition space out by the water front. It is on South Bank in the Shad Thames area in SE1 London. Deyan Sudjic is the current Director of the museum. He succeeded Alice Rawsthorn in 2006. Unusually for a London museum, the entrance is not free, as it is not subsidised by the Government. For this reason it operates as a charity, and all funds generated by ticket sales aid the museum in putting new exhibitions together. The museum attracts 200,000 visitors annually.
