Check Out These Pics of the New Shenzhen Museum of Design

Posted: 06/26/2014 8:47 pm

We recently told you about plans to open China’s first design museum in Shekou, Shenzhen, but we didn’t know what it would look like—until now.

The Victoria and Albert Museum signed a deal with the property arm of the China Merchants Group on June 17 to jointly collaborate upon the new museum.

As part of the deal, the V & A will have a dedicated gallery to show major V & A exhibitions as well as their own curated displays.

These designs are by Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki and they look what we’d expect a design museum to look like.

Here are some photographs from bdonline to hold you over until the museum is scheduled to open in 2016.
