OVERVIEW This is an exciting time to join the
experienced fundraising team at the Design Museum. Since opening on
24 November 2016, the museum has
welcomed more than one million visitors to its new premises on Kensington
High Street. Three times more space, much improved learning facilities and
a dedicated exhibition space in which to display the museum’s permanent
collection for free for the first time makes the Design Museum an international
showcase for the many creative design
skills at which Britain excels. The move
to Kensington has given the museum the opportunity to broaden its appeal and reach a wider audience.
The museum enjoys individual patronage from a number of donors via the Design
Circle – its vibrant patrons’ scheme which was launched in 2014, to significantly
increase support for the museum’s core programme of exhibitions and learning
activity. It is also lucky to have the support of a high calibre and dedicated Board of Trustees.
The challenge ahead is to secure the
ongoing operational funding required to
sustain the new museum as it embarks on its most ambitious plans to date.
