Mace's Design Museum to open in November

摘要

The Design Museum is set to open in its new home in Kensington in November, two years later than originally planned, writes Tim Clark. The £83m project by contractor Mace and architect John Pawson has transformed RMJM's grade Ⅱ~* former Commonwealth Institute on Kensington High Street into a space three times larger than the museum's current home on Shad Thames near Tower Bridge. Once open, the museum (pictured) will also house a free permanent display of its collection, telling the story of contemporary design.
