Museums ignite curiosity, but the Design Museum is pushing further. CEO and Director Tim Marlow charts its evolution into a dynamic hub that engages broad audiences through unexpected lenses such as sport, fashion, and film, while balancing physical and digital experiences and embracing new technology. He also outlines the shift from exhibition-led to research-driven practice, anchored by Future Observatory, the UK’s national design-research programme, which is unique among museums.
