In 2007 the museum was listed by the Times newspaper as number two in their top 5 museums of the year.Design Museum is the world's first museum dedicated to the study of 20th century design. Its two main galleries, housed in a spartan 1930s building, hold a historical collection which survey design developments from the origins of mass production to the present day. The Collection gallery houses designs of historical significance, whereas the Review gallery is more contemporary in theme. Both galleries hold regularly-changing displays.
