Design Museum Boston is a non-profit organization with the goal of creating and maintaining a network of virtual and physical exhibit spaces online, in Boston, and across New England. These exhibits will educate the public on the role of design in their lives and the contributions of design within the creative economy. Design Museum Boston will also host events and programs related to design education to further connect the design community to the public.

Design Museum Boston showcases exciting design work and it’s impact differently than a traditional museum. Through a decentralized network of physical and virtual exhibits, Design Museum Boston brings programming to galleries, retail environments, public spaces and the web. There, audiences can be exposed to the design process from a social, economic, and environmental point of view.

Designingamuseum.org is a social network open to designers and non-designers alike which serves as the virtual think tank for Design Museum Boston. We call designing a design museum the ultimate design project. On the site people are coming together to shape the museum and its programing through discussions, blogs and multimedia content. The online community has come alive with members sharing their thoughts and ideas around the possibility of a design museum in Boston. The site will document this collaboration and showcase this massive design process.
