Smithsonian Institution
Design enriches our lives in many profound, subtle, and stimulating ways. It affects us every day, at home, at work, online, in print, in life. Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum is the nation’s only museum devoted exclusively to historic and contemporary design. As such, it plays a fundamental role in fulfilling the Smithsonian Institution’s mission, “the increase and diffusion of knowledge.”
Cooper-Hewitt is at an exciting point in its long and esteemed history. The Museum is in the midst of a major campaign to renovate its campus, expand its endowment, and enhance its programs. Please join me in supporting our National Design Museum; take part in redesigning its future.
