It is a very creative and inspirational museum in the city of copenhagen. It contains national as well as international design artists for the last centuries until to our modern time. Very impressive. The danish design is kind of ageless, which is unique in the world. You can learn something about patterns, processing and other things like the temperature of light. There's a cafe bar and souvenir shop at the end of the tour.

A great way to spend a date with someone who likes to read and enjoy design from especially Japan and Denmark. A little experience entrance free of 140kr. But the exhibitions are great, cool and a few interactive places. Nice café area and outside garden.

I enjoyed a lot this museum. What I enjoyed the most was part of the temporary exhibition about ceramic food. I also liked the curation in theroom with the mirrors. I would have liked to see more in the permanent collection, though, especially from the contemporary designs, but overall it worth the visit!

Amazing visit if you’re interested in interior design, furniture and art. The chair hallway was so beautifully presented, definitely my favorite part. Museum shop has lots of great gift ideas.

Beautifully curated exhibition at the Design Museum. Really enjoyed Hokusai’s artwork and the Japanese posters! The chair designs were incredible and they have a lovely souvenir shop and free cloakroom!
