75 YEARS OF DESIGN!
As UC Davis celebrates its much-anticipated centennial anniversary, the Design Program approaches a significant milestone of its own: 75 Years of Design at UC Davis. For the 2008/09 exhibition season, the DESIGN MUSEUM presents three unique exhibitions, two of which highlight the UC Davis Design Collection and its long standing history of preserving design from across the globe. In addition to the exhibitions, beginning with the museum brochure (available at the museum or by request), the museum presents TRANS-4-MATIONS, a four-part research project delving into the personal stories and institutional history that has contributed to the growth of the Design Program from its beginnings in the Department of Home Economics, to emerging as the most diverse free-standing Design Program in the University of California. This exciting year features unique exhibitions, great designers, and a newly founded speaker series.
We welcome you to join us in celebrating Design!
