Worlds First Dedicated Graphic Design Museum
img. Parrworld
Apparently, and I'm still a tad sceptical, the worlds first dedicated Graphic Design museum was opened by Queen Beatrix in Breda, The Netherlands, this year.
"An institute that will act as museum, knowledge centre, teaching environment, shop for image culture, designer café and production house for graphic design. The Graphic Design Museum offers established designers an international stage and is, at the same time, a spring-board for new top talent."
Visit the site here
And if anyone has had a chance to visit the new institute, leave a comment and let us know how it is.

Fontanel, the Dutch weblog on art and design did a report on it, check it here: www.fontanel.nl/specials/graphic-design-museum-de-fotos
and check out the photogallery here: fontanel.nl/gallery/graphicdesignmuseum
When I went (1 month ago),
Nearly half of the museum was still under construction, but nevertheless there were some interesting things to see but it didn't do my expectations justice ...
I've been there a while ago and i was kind of disappointed actually. There isn't enough attention for todays designers... *to my opinion...
willem: Looks quite impressive from the photo link you posted, definately looks better than I imagined.
Plus it's in one of the best citys in the whole of the Netherlands, we'll it's my favourate at least!
