The Design Museum of Barcelona (Catalan: Museu del Disseny de Barcelona) is a center of Barcelona's Institute of Culture. It aims to promote a better understanding and effective use of the design world, functioning as both a museum and a laboratory. The museum focuses on four design disciplines: space design, product design, information design, and fashion.
The museum is the result of the merger of several previously existing museums, including the Museu de les Arts Decoratives, the Museu Tèxtil i d'Indumentària, and the Gabinet de les Arts Gràfiques collection. The opening of the new headquarters, located on Plaça de les Glòries next to Torre Agbar, took place gradually throughout 2014.
