Museum research services
The museum’s collections databases, archives and index of designers are available by appointment for used by researchers in the museum’s premises. Design Museum’s Image Archives are a national central archive body of the field of applied art and design.
The Collection Services of the Design Museum are on a break for the rest of the year
The Design Museum’s collection facilities will be renovated from the end of 2021. During the implementation of the renovations, the Design Museum’s collection borrowing from the archive and object collections will be paused between 13 September 2021 and 10 January 2022. We handle unfinished loans as agreed. Other collection services, such as picture loans and researcher information services, are also on a break.
