• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The purpose of this study was to examine the
structure and policies of a contemporary western
design museum. In so doing, the role of design in
society, the characteristics that distinguish design
from art, and the history of design were explored,
and selected existing design museums throughout the
world were reviewed. In addition, the notions of
design and design museums were defined and discussed
in the context of museums and socio-cultural
studies, particularly in relation to why and how
design museums have shaped and been shaped by
cultural and political knowledge in Europe and the
United States.
