A day out in London - the design museum

Image
As promised - a few pictures from the Design Museum in London which I had never visited before. I expected to see a permanent collection of design through the ages or something like that. Instead there were 3 temporary exhibitions. One on an architect Louis Kahn, another of the contenders for the design of the year 2014 which Archie enjoyed as it was hands on, and the third was called Time Machines - clocks by Daniel Weil. This was the most photogenic part as the clocks were placed against a translucent glass wall which had circles of clear glass in it allowing you to see the sky beyond. The museum is going to be relocated next year and they will have the space for a permanent exhibition. The first picture is of a car with a steel chassis but polystyrene body - most useful to avoid those little paint chips.
