About the museum
Strategy Sharing design
Our mission is to be the shared design memory of Denmark, ready to inspire future designers. Our strategy is to create a knowledge centre for new and enriching experiences. For more than 125 years, we have brought people together around good design and innovative forms. Our collections, archives and research show Danish design in an international perspective. With our Strategy Plan 2020, we hope to reach out to an even wider public, because we believe that everyone can be inspired by the past to take part in designing the future.

Vision
We aim to create an internationally leading design museum that conveys the story about Denmark as a design society and the value-creating potential of design.
Mission
With its archives, library, and collections, the museum constitutes Denmark’s shared design memory and knowledge centre as a source of inspiration for future designs. Our audience includes those who work with design professionally as well as everyone whose daily life – in ways both seen and unseen – is shaped by design and quality craftsmanship.
