Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum

Everyday Objects, New Questions

Discover

Cooper Hewitt explores historical and contemporary design inside New York’s Carnegie Mansion. Its collection spans textiles, works on paper, product design, decorative arts, and digital materials. The setting offers a useful contrast in scale: a museum visit can move from the design of a small object to the architecture of the building that holds it.

Before you go

Check current exhibitions before choosing the design topics you want to explore.

Social

Look at an everyday object and ask why it takes that shape. At Cooper Hewitt, design becomes a way to explore materials, choices, and how things work, within the historic setting of the Carnegie Mansion.
