The purpose of this study was to examine the structure and policies
of a contemporary western design museum. In so doing, the role of
design in society, the characteristics that distinguish design from
art, and the history of design were explored, and selected existing
design museums throughout the world were reviewed. In addition, the
notions of design and design museums were defined and discussed in
the context of museums and socio-cultural studies, particularly in
relation to why and how design museums have shaped and been shaped
by cultural and political knowledge in Europe and the United
States.
