Terence Conran’s gift helps Design Museum

Terence Conran is to give the Design Museum £17.5m to help it move to the Commonwealth Institute.

Deyan Sudjic, director of the museum, said the gift would mean exhibitions could be displayed in three times as much space.

He said: “Terence Conran has transformed Britain. His contribution to the way we live, eat and shop over six decades has been enormous. The gift to the Design Museum is a hugely generous investment in the future.”

“The new Design Museum will be the definitive voice of contemporary design, reinforcing Britain’s place as one of the world’s leading creative economies.”
