Material Tales: The Life of Things touring exhibition

Material Tales is the first dedicated touring exhibition developed by the Design Museum. The exhibition charts the journey of the materials that have defined modern life through their origins, uses and evolution to current environmental and industrial consequences.

Featuring iconic exhibits from the Design Museum collection, as well as innovative materials in development today, the exhibition will inform and inspire visitors to understand and care for the complex processes that go into everyday objects.

Testimonial:

"Collaborating with the team at the Design Museum on their touring exhibition was both a rewarding and enriching experience. The exhibition, 'Material Tales: The Life of Things', was built around a thoughtfully conceived and highly adaptable framework, which gave us the opportunity to seamlessly incorporate local narratives and innovations. This flexibility not only enriched the exhibition's content but also allowed us to craft a more meaningful and culturally resonant experience for our audience.

What truly distinguished the Design Museum team was their unwavering commitment to excellence and their openness to creative collaboration. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and shared vision significantly elevated the entire project, leaving a lasting impression on both our team and our visitors".
