The art of design: 6 global views

Head to these winter exhibitions for a new perspective.

Although we are the first in line for the latest opening at our favourite design museums, it’s important to remember that not all of the best design exhibitions can be found at the institutions dedicated to the discipline. As the festive season brings the need for international travel, be sure to take a look at the design and architecture exhibitions at the nearest art museum or art and cultural foundation (in addition to the local design museum) for new ways of thinking about the fluid relationship between art, design and architecture.  After all, as we hope to build bridges between nations – the people who constitute nations – art museums offer lenses through which we can become united through our diversity.  Happy travels.  – Joanne Molina
