Design is the art of the everyday: the form and function of commercial objects made for home, commerce, communications, and industry. The Museum of California Design is dedicated to honoring California's unique contributions to commercial design and to furthering the understanding of how design affects the way we live. For now, the museum is achieving these goals through innovative traveling exhibitions and educational programming.

Our interests cover everything from cups to cars—though not architecture—made in every conceivable material: upcoming exhibitions will focus on furniture, graphics, and pottery. These and other exhibitions, as well as our educational programs, demonstrate how California's innovative spirit has reflected, and often led, America's cultural and economic development, how it has shaped the way we have lived for more than a century, and how its influence continues to affect us. We devote particular attention to how design is created and those who create it.

We hope that you will help us continue fulfilling these goals
