Barcelona’s Design Museum facade in a cloudy day:

The Museu del Disseny de Barcelona, is a center for Barcelona’s Institute of Culture, which works to promote better understanding and good use of the design world, acting as a museum and laboratory. It focuses on 4 branches or design disciplines: space design, product design, information design and fashion.

The Museum is the result of the merging of several previous existing museums, such as the Museu de les Arts Decoratives, the Museu Tèxtil i d’Indumentària and the Gabinet de les Arts Gràfiques collection.

The opening of the new headquarters, located on Plaça de les Glòries, next to Torre Agbar, was set gradually during 2014.
