Corporate Support

Every year, the Design Museum hosts four world-class temporary exhibitions spanning fashion, film, design and lifestyle, bringing unique perspectives and interventions into the world of design. Sponsorship is a great way to align your organisation with thought-provoking subject matter and offers an innovative platform to showcase your brand to the world.

Benefits include exclusive venue hire in our stunning, grade II* listed building with private access to our exhibitions, VIP invites to our opening parties, curator-led tours and workplace talks, complimentary tickets for your network and opportunities to engage with our members and patrons.

In addition to prominent branding on extensive print advertising as well as online marketing and press campaigns, the museum works closely with supporters to maximise ROI, raising and enhancing your brand profile across key demographics through a targeted and integrated strategy.

Corporate Membership offers unique and exclusive access to the Design Museum for your staff, guests and clients. With three tiers of Corporate Membership available, we offer flexible schemes that cater to organisations of all sizes and interests.

Throughout the year, members benefit from personalised assistance from a dedicated Account Manager, facilitating access to exclusive, invitation-only events with prominent partners in the design and culture industries for unique networking opportunities.

• Complimentary year-round access for staff and clients to our world-renowned exhibitions

• Venue hire for daytime or evening events

The Design Museum forges high-profile, innovative Corporate Partnerships, collaborating closely with brands to create a rich exchange of ideas and meaningful connections with our design-savvy audiences.

From immersive brand-focused exhibitions in the expansive Helene & Johannes Huth Gallery (319 sqm) to activations in the Atrium, Plaza, and High Street Kensington shop, the Design Museum features seven highly original and versatile spaces available for commercial hire. Additionally, the entire museum is now available for unique and exclusive day-hires and closures.

Having developed over a hundred exhibitions, many of which are now touring the globe, our knowledge and expertise can help deliver immersive exhibitions & activations centred around your chosen key themes.

Partnership can also include multi-year sponsorship of annual events, life-changing learning programmes, Design Camps and ‘First Friday’ lates at the museum. With one of the highest organic digital reaches of any cultural institution (over 5 million digital followers), partnerships offer demonstrable global reach, and we produce impactful marketing campaigns for all our activities.
