Vitra Design Museum

Explores and conveys the history and present of design


The Vitra Design Museum is dedicated to the research and presentation of design, past and present, and examines its relationship to architecture, art and everyday culture. Every year, the Vitra Design Museum organises up to ten exhibitions on a wide range of topics about design and architecture, which are shown in the main building by Frank Gehry, in the Schaudepot by Herzog & de Meuron and in other locations on the Vitra Campus.
