The Design Museum is pleased to announce that David Adjaye: Making Memory is to be extended until 4 August 2019 The exhibition explores the role of monuments and memorials in the 21st century, through seven projects by celebrated British-Ghanaian architect, Sir David Adjaye OBE From 1 - 25 April 2019, up to three children aged 15 and below go free with the purchase of each adult ticket to the exhibition

The exhibition features seven projects including the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C, the new National Cathedral of Ghana in Accra and the UK Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre* in London. Each of the projects, selected by Sir David Adjaye, is presented in a dedicated room alongside specially commissioned video interviews and immersive site-specific displays.

Visitors will also be offered a first look at an in-depth display of the proposed Coretta Scott King and Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Boston, designed to be a place for discursive action and assembly. Justin McGuirk, Chief Curator, the Design Museum said: “It is with great pleasure that we have decided to extend David Adjaye: Making Memory until 4 August 2019. The exhibition has been attracting a diverse audience and visitors’ feedback has been outstanding. The Design Museum’s purpose is to make the impact of design visible to everyone and this exhibition’s messages are clearly reaching well beyond the world of design and architecture.”

iVisit... The Design Museum
The Design museum is currently housed in a former 1940s banana warehouse on the south bank of the River Thames in the Shad Thames area in South East London. The conversion of this warehouse altered it beyond recognition to resemble a building in the International Modernist style of the 1930s. This was funded by many companies, designers and benefactors. The museum was principally designed by the Conran group, with exhibitions over two floors, and a "Design Museum Tank" exhibition space out by the water front,Terance Conran aided in this conversion, as it was his concept to create such a museum of modern design. The Design Museum is moving to Kensington in 2016 to a bigger and better location.
The Design Museum offers inspiring insights into the world of design with exhibitions on fashion, architecture, furniture, graphic, product, transport and digital design. Alongside its cutting edge programme of temporary exhibitions the museum also hosts a variety of talks and family activities.
iVisit.... Architectural Yoga @ Design Museum
Join this unique class and be guided through a sequence of yoga postures that explore specific architectural features of the museum.
The very design of an environment can inspire us to be greater: to invent, to learn more, to love more. In this fifty minute yoga session participants will be guided through a sequence of yoga postures that explore specific architectural features of the Design Museum and their impact on our wellbeing.
Participants will examine the story of the building’s construction, drawing on archival imagery and audio-visual material. Taking the body as a starting point, the session shall explore how yoga can help us to understand the spaces we inhabit, harnessing this as a tool for positive change.
Yoga mats will be provided, however participants can also bring their own if preferred.
