The Design Museum

The Design Museum in London's Holland Park is a celebrated 1960s-built building with a dramatic and innovative roof that evokes a large pitched tent.  The museum's permanent collection, which is free to view, consists mainly of nostalgic, now-obsolete consumer products and technology that exemplify a unique and memorable design that bestows the items with a certain allure.  There's a lot to see and it's just a fun place to visit.
