Collab: Collecting Design

Design is a part of our everyday lives, from the objects around us, to what we experience in the built environment, and how we function in society. Collab, an organization at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, supports the museum’s collection of modern and contemporary design. For fifty years, Collab has grown the museum’s design acquisitions while celebrating the ideas, designers and design movements that have shaped history. In addition to building a world class collection of design, Collab shares unique exhibits, lectures, tours, and publications that provide an insider’s view to the global design community. This talk will introduce you to Collab through the lens of collecting design and how Collab’s programming contributes to the design legacy of Philadelphia and beyond. Presented by Collab Board Member Royce Epstein.
