Barcelona Design Museum
Museu del Disseny de Barcelona is the Catalan capital’s centre devoted to the arts of the object and design. The new museum conserves a collection comprising more than 70,000 objects traditionally classified under the name of decorative arts or applied arts. These pieces, which range in date from the fourth century AD to the present, include such unique, internationally-famed collections as those of medieval fabrics, sixteenth-century Catalan enamelled glass and ceramic from Alcora.
Design Statement
The museum’s twentieth-century design collections, which feature product, graphic and fashion design, most are, or have been, “objects for living”, that is to say, closely bound up with everyday, personal or collective life. Moreover, the museum resources also seek to stimulate critical reflection on what has been the real contribution of design to twenty-first century society.
