What our partners say about us

'Design Museum Den Bosch thoroughly enjoyed working with the team of the Design Museum to realise the Sneakers Unboxed exhibition in the Netherlands. As always, the Design Museum in London produces high quality exhibitions that can be easily adapted to one’s available space and target audience.' Design Museum Den Bosch

‘Having a trusted partner that understands the complexities of working cross-culturally on the other side of the world, has been critical in the 10-year partnership between the Design Museum and Globe Creative. The museum’s acclaimed and on-trend exhibitions – an exciting platform from which you can further nuance for local market adaptations or evolve to include Art Science content - has been a key to the success of their travelling exhibition programme.’ Globe Creative, Hong Kong

‘The Design Museum is a wonderful, friendly and helpful partner. We launched our own Design Museum in Brussels only recently and our London colleagues have always been ready to offer the best kind of advice: smart, efficient, creative, pragmatic and encouraging. It has been brilliant to work together on creating an original exhibition, dedicated to the design of chairs. We shared insights and knowledge, we built a solid narrative, and the Design Museum let us benefit from their outstanding collection. The whole team is always open to new ideas and shares with us a focused commitment to our public and our mission.’ Design Museum Brussels

'Partnering with the Design Museum, as one of the tour venues for Sneakers Unboxed was a great opportunity to showcase and celebrate sneaker culture here in Australia. Working with the Design Museum provided a greater insight to the team at HOTA, into the development and delivery of a museum-based show and a deeper understanding into the handling and care of an object-based show. It was a pleasure working with the Design Museum, and grateful we can continue to have a strong relationship to an acclaimed institution.' HOTA (Home of the Arts)
