The new Design Museum opened its doors to the public today (November 24) and following nearly five years of restoration and refurbishment the former Commonwealth Institute building has been transformed into a modern multi-purpose space. Museums + Heritage Advisor took a behind the scenes tour of the impressive space last week and interviewed founder, Sir Terence Conran, Director Deyan Sudjic, Chief Curator Justin McGuirk and Director of Learning and Research Helen Charman to get an in depth view of the new museum
