A Year of Eco-exhibitions
The 2007-08 season is a year of "Eco-exhibitions" at the UC Davis Design Museum. Each exhibition follows design themes associated with environmental stewardship and social issues. The exhibit construction, installation, and museum operations will incorporate green design, sustainable practice, and design research. Supported in part by the Campus Sustainability Grant Program.
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!
On-Going
As part of the past year's 2007-08 season, Year of Eco-exhibitions, the Design Museum presented the on-going exhibition, Sustainable Practice: A Model for Museum Design. Supported by the Campus Sustainability Grant Program, Design Museum Director, Professor Timothy McNeil leads the way in changing museum practices to incorporate new materials and methods to reduce the eco-foot print that presentation environments create. Read about these methods here.
