Corporate Support

Every year, the Design Museum stages world-class exhibitions spanning fashion, film, design and lifestyle. Sponsorship aligns you with subject matter people actively seek out and gives you a platform with global reach to show the world what your brand stands for.

Each partnership is thoughtfully developed to align with your goals, offering a range of benefits and opportunities to engage with the Design Museum. Exclusive hire of our Grade II*-listed building with private exhibition access, bespoke brand activations in some of London's most photographed spaces, VIP openings, curator-led tours and workplace talks, complimentary tickets for your network, and direct access to our members and patrons - a high-value, hard-to-reach audience.

Your brand can benefit from a range of visibility opportunities across the museum’s channels, tailored to your partnership: print, digital, press and out-of-home. Design thinking runs through everything we do - including how we approach our audiences - and we work closely with partners to raise and enhance your brand profile across key demographics through a targeted, integrated strategy.

Corporate Memberships work for your brand year-round as a standing platform to entertain clients, reward employees and associate your name with the ideas shaping culture. Three tiers provide a flexible framework for organisations of different sizes and ambitions, allowing you to choose the level of partnership that best aligns with your objectives.

Every membership comes with a dedicated Account Manager and an invitation into the room: exclusive, invitation-only events alongside leading names in design and culture, where your team builds the relationships that matter. And when you take the space for your own events, our Events Team works with you end to end, shaping each moment around your brand and your goals, from first idea to final execution.

Your membership unlocks:

• Year-round access to our world-renowned exhibitions for staff and clients

• Venue hire for daytime or evening events

• Lunchtime talks to engage your staff networks or entertain clients

• Discounts across our public programme and learning workshops

• Invitations to exclusive private views and VIP events

Preferred Hotel Partners

We've recently reviewed and refined our Corporate Membership offer to better reflect what organisations are looking for from a cultural partnership today. Alongside our core membership tiers, we've also introduced a dedicated hospitality tier, designed around our new suite of Preferred Hotel Partners. Created for organisations whose priority is client hosting and relationship-building, it combines the benefits of Design Museum membership with hospitality experiences, making it easier to entertain clients in some of London's most distinctive cultural and hospitality settings.

Download the brochures below: one to explore the full membership tiers, one for the hospitality offer in detail.

The Design Museum builds high-profile Corporate Partnerships that connect brands directly with one of the most design-engaged audiences in the world and put the museum's creative and production expertise to work for you.

Choose your stage. Seven highly versatile spaces are available for commercial hire, from immersive brand exhibitions in the 319 sqm Helene & Johannes Huth Gallery to activations in the Atrium, Plaza and our High Street Kensington shop - and the entire museum is now available for exclusive day-hires and closures.

With over a hundred exhibitions produced and many now touring the globe, we don't just give you a venue, we bring the expertise to build immersive exhibitions and activations around the themes that matter to your brand. Partnership can also extend to multi-year sponsorship of annual events, learning programmes, Design Camps and our 'First Friday' lates.

Every partnership is amplified across impactful, museum-led marketing campaigns, putting your brand in front of a worldwide audience.
