Reviews
"A museum specializes in design. Great special exhibit on Es Delvin. Disappointed that the second floor was closed for renovations. Would like to return once it’s open. Not a great place for kids. Limited hands on experience which might be boring for kids. Plan to spend 60-90 minutes. Part of the 5th Ave museum mile. Can hop to other museums while in the area."
"This design museum was established in 1897 by 3 Hewitt sisters(Peter Cooper’s granddaughters). Once part of Cooper Union. It’s taken over by the Smithsonian in late 1960s, and moved to the exquisite Andrew Carnegie Mansion in Manhattan in 1970. It’s the first Smithsonian museum outside of Washington, D.C. It’s also the only museum in the United States devoted to historical and contemporary design."
"The museum itself was okay with a very small collection of the textile / fashion design. BUT the exhibition of the "An Atlas of Es Devlin" was perfectly curated, immersive, and extremely inspirational. It's 3 hours well spent, and highly recommend it!"
"Always have a great visiting this museum of design. The staff are extremely friendly (I had a 45-minute conversation with a well-versed man named Garfield where he went in detail explaining the stories of how the museum came to be and the architecture of Carnegie's mansion) and the different exhibits teach you so much about what goes into design thinking. This museum can take a day, as it is not enormous, and it is definitely worth going to."
"Took my grandson and the experience was something we both had never experienced in life. It was amazing. If you have a NYPL library card use it to explore all of these amazing museums in NYC."
