The new Barcelona Design Museum opened during December 2014. The museum explores the role of design in our daily lives through 4 permanent exhibitions which were previously housed in the Museum of Decorative Arts, the Ceramics Museum, the Barcelona Textile Museum and the Cabinet of Graphic Arts.
The museum occupies 4 floors of the futuristic looking DHUB building located next to the Torre Agbar in the 22@ district (the so-called innovation district of Poblenou). The building also houses a public library, cafeteria and a hall for temporary exhibitions on the lower ground floor.
