I decided to go to the Design Museum in London. Immediately after walking into the building I instantly noticed how contemporary the building's structure was. It was so modern and very futuristic. I guess this is something I should have expected being a 'design' museum. I liked how everything was on the top level meaning you had to walk up some stairs around the museum creating a sense of gravitas and built up suspense. I was immediately faced with a wall full of bright contrasting colours with the title of the museum mixed up within the abstractness. This was such a great opening to the exhibition as it made me really curious to see what was lurking behind. The exhibition itself was extremely interactive. It was all about the generations of technology and how much things have changed from iPhones to game consoles. It was also full of some weird wacky furniture, futuristic designs like chairs and sofas. The spinning chair was particularly my favourite although it felt like you were going to fall off at any moment but the design was created in a way that it is impossible to fall over. As you walked through the exhibition things were hanging from the ceiling, there were sculptures on the floor and pictures on the wall - there was a real sense of variety throughout which kept me glued. There was a fair bit of information but this was curated in a way that was not at all too confusing - there were some audio interactive games where you could create your own poster and learn more about the technology history alongside the walls which had writing on. There was also a projector film in another room for people who prefer alternative ways of learning.
I found the exhibition extremely interesting. It was definitely more suited to probably the younger generation because of the way in which it was curated with main focus on the interactive vibe. Seeing technology which I used back when I was like 7 was really interesting and seeing how much everything has changed over the years.
