It’s a match!
100 Years of Design & Technology

Die Neue Sammlung – The Design Museum and the Deutsches Museum are celebrating their 100th anniversaries together.

While their collections are partly identical, their perspectives on the objects differ. While the Deutsches Museum collects primarily based on technical aspects, the Design Museum places greater emphasis on design. Some objects, however, shape cultural history and are thus featured in both museums.

“It’s a match” explores the similarities, differences, and associative connections between the objects. Look forward to fascinating insights into the collection histories of these two major museums in Munich.

Programme Tip

Paula Scher – Type is Image

Paula Scher has been a pioneering force in graphic design for over five decades. She began her career as an art director in the 1970s and early 1980s, when her eclectic approach to typography became highly influential.
In 1991 she became a partner in the New York office of Pentagram, the distinguished international design consultancy, where she leads a team that develops brand identities, signage, packaging and publications for clients all over the world.
