Visiting a design museum is a great way to immerse yourself into the art and design community. This is important because it will make your own designs more rich and full of meaning, with you new and expanded knowledge of design history and culture. Traveling to these museums will give you a great idea of what has been done already and can inspire you to create new and original artwork, that could be in that very same design museum one day!
