What does it mean to be a design museum today? This exhibition highlights how Cooper Hewitt acquires new work to shape their collection to reflect current issues and design’s evolving role in daily interactions.
Presented on the second-floor galleries, the exhibition will feature objects that represent the museum’s collecting legacy, as well as works brought into the collection since 2017.
The exhibition Acquired! Shaping the National Design Collection will be on view from March 16 through September 2 at the Cooper Hewitt museum in New York City. Tickets for the museum are $19 for adults, with other price offering for different groups.
