About
The Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum occupies the Andrew Carnegie Mansion on Fifth Avenue—one of New York's great Gilded Age houses, now housing the nation's only museum dedicated entirely to the history and practice of design. The collection of 210,000 objects spanning 3,000 years, the interactive pen-based tools, and the Fifth Avenue mansion make it the most visitor-engaging museum on the Mile.
The Smithsonian's design collection & rotating exhibits are on display in this historic townhouse.
