IRS990/MissionDesc0The Design Museum of Chicago strives to inspire, educate and innovate through design. As a resource for the Chicago design community and beyond, the museum facilitates an open dialogue about contemporary and historical design through limited engagement exhibitions, events, public programs, and digital media. Design is not just a single discipline or process, but rather a persistent element present in our everyday environments and experiences.
